The search for effective vaccines against chicken coccidiosis remains a challenge because
of the complex organisms with multiple life cycle stages of Eimeria. Combination of T-cell …

EtMIC4 is a microneme protein of Eimeria tenella, an intracellular apicomplexan protozoan
that can cause severe enteritis in chickens. The EtMIC4 gene has been partially …

Coccidiosis, caused by various Eimeria species, is a major parasitic disease in chickens.
Our understanding of how chickens respond to coccidian infections is highly limited at both …

Transmission electron microscopy was used to study the in vitro development of Eimeria
tenella in a novel established avian-derived cell line (designated CEV-1/F7) used for …

Abstract The CD40 ligand (CD40L) has shown potential as a powerful immunological
adjuvant in various studies. Here, the efficacy of a chimeric subunit vaccine, consisting of …

Eimeria spp. are the causative agents of coccidiosis, a major disease affecting the poultry
industry. So far, only a few antigen genes of E. acervulina have been reported. In this study …

Background Avian coccidiosis is often caused by co-infection with several species of
Eimeria worldwide. Developing a multivalent vaccine with an antigen common to multiple …

The oocyst wall of Eimeria spp. consists of a 10-nm-thick outer lipid layer and a 90-mm-thick
inner layer of glycoprotein which has been described previously to be composed of a single …

Avian coccidiosis is caused by the intracellular protozoan Eimeria, which produces intestinal
lesions leading to weight gain depression. Current control methods include vaccination and …

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 …
