Microneme proteins play an important role in the adherence of apicomplexan parasites to
host cells during the invasion process. In this study, the microneme 2 protein from the …

Avian coccidian parasites exhibit a high degree of site specificity in different Eimeria
species. Although the underlying mechanism is unclear, an increasing body of evidence …

Eimeria tenella microneme protein 1 (EtMIC-1) is highly conserved with TgMIC-2, which is
involved in parasite binding specifically to host cells. Little is known about the immune …

Eimeria maxima microneme protein 3 (EmMIC3) is pivotal in the initial recognition and
attachment of E. maxima sporozoites to host cells. EmMIC3 comprises 5 tandem Type I …

The five epidermal growth factor-like domains (EGF) of Eimeria tenella microneme protein 8
(EtMIC8)(EtMIC8-EGF) plays a vital role in host cell attachment and invasion. These …

The apicomplexan pathogens of Eimeria tenella cause coccidiosis, an intestinal disease of
chickens that has a major economic impact on the poultry industry. Members of Apicomplexa …

The microneme adhesive repeats (MAR) of Eimeria tenella microneme protein 3 (EtMIC3)
are associated with binding to and invasion of host cells. Adhesion and invasion-related …

E. mitis is ubiquitous in clinical coccidiosis caused by mixed infection of Eimeria species and
the infection by E. mitis usually significantly impairs productivity of the infected chickens. To …
