Abstract	A Theileria lestoquardi schizont cDNA library was screened using sera collected from sheep recovering from a natural malignant theileriosis infection. An immunogenic clone (clone-5) was isolated and its full sequence was obtained using rapid amplification of cDNA ends polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. PCR experiments and sequencing demonstrated the presence of two transcript forms of the gene, resulting from splicing variation at the single intron found in the gene. Both gene products, clone-5 long and clone-5 short variants with calculated molecular weights of 99.9 and 72.7 kDa, respectively, were expressed in a T. lestoquardi-infected cell line. BLAST searches suggested the presence of homologues of the gene in both the Theileria parva and Theileria annulata genomes, with identities of 53 and 62% on the DNA level, respectively. The intron was preserved in size, sequence, and location within the gene in these parasites. Analysis of the subcellular localization of the clone-5 proteins showed a predominant parasite membrane association in T. lestoquardi-infected cells. Both recombinantly produced forms were found to be reactive with sera from infected animals. Bioinformatic analyses were employed to address the possible function of the gene products in the biology of T. lestoquardi.
