Eimeria tenella is the causative agent of coccidiosis in poultry. Infection of the chicken
intestine begins with ingestion of sporulated oocysts releasing sporocysts, which in turn …

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 …

To characterize the genes expressed by Eimeria tenella oocysts, the sequence of 499
expressed sequence tags (ESTs) was obtained from complementary DNA (cDNAs) enriched …

An Eimeria tenella cDNA library was constructed in the expression vector λgt11 from poly
(A+) RNA extracted from sporulating oocysts. The library was screened with rabbit antiserum …

A cDNA library was constructed with poly (A)+ RNA from unsporulated oocysts of Eimeria
tenella in pUC18. After screening, 4 cDNA clones that hybridized to RNA of unsporulated …

Changes in proteins during sporulation of Eimeria tenella oocysts were investigated.
Unsporulated E. tenella oocysts collected from cecal tissue at 7 days postinoculation were …

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 …

Background Eimeria tenella infection leads to acute intestinal disorders responsible for
important economic losses in poultry farming worldwide. The life-cycle of E. tenella is …

Gametocyte proteins are being explored as potential vaccine candidates against Eimeria sp.
in chicken since they are the components of the resilient oocyst wall. The aim of this study …

The genome sequences of Eimeria tenella have been sequenced, but> 70% of these genes
are currently categorized as having an unknown function or annotated as conserved …
