Abstract Background The phylum Apicomplexa comprises a wide variety of parasites of
significant medical and economic relevance. These parasites have extremely different host …

A wide range of recombinant proteins from Eimeria species have been reported to offer
some degree of protection against infection and disease, but the specific biological function …

Simple Summary Rhoptry proteins (ROPs) of phylum Apicomplexa parasites are important
secretory virulence factors as well as candidate vaccines. However, studies on ROPs of …

The aim was to study the effects of probiotics isolated from the intestinal tract of livestock
animals on Eimeria tenella invasion into Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells in vitro. E …

Chicken coccidiosis caused by Eimeria species leads to tremendous economic losses to the
avian industry worldwide. Identification of parasite life cycle specific antigens is a critical step …

The chicken monoclonal antibody (mAb), 6D-12-G10, reacts with an apical complex protein
at the anterior tip of E. acervulina sporozoites that inhibits parasite invasion in vitro. Because …

Monoclonal antibodies (Mab) were produced against Eimeria tenella merozoites. A single
Mab, LPMC-61, was selected because of its ability to bind to merozoites by indirect …

Resistance to coccidiostats and possible future restrictions on their use raise the need for
alternative methods of reducing coccidiosis in poultry. The aim of this study was to evaluate …

Abstract Background Gametocyte proteins of Eimeria (E.) spp. are important components of
the oocyst wall and some have been used to develop transmission-blocking vaccines …

Calcium has an important role on signaling of different cellular processes, including growth
and differentiation. Signaling by calcium also has an essential function in pathogenesis and …
