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 …

Avian coccidiosis caused by Eimeria leads to huge economic losses on the global poultry
industry. In this study, microneme adhesive repeat regions (MARR) bc1 of E. tenella …

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 …

Avian coccidiosis caused by Eimeria inflicts high economic losses to the poultry industry.
Application of drugs and live vaccines presents particular challenges in pathogen resistance …

Understanding the determinants of host and tissue tropisms among parasites of veterinary
and medical importance has long posed a substantial challenge. Among the seven species …

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 …

ABSTRACT Microneme proteins (MICs) of Eimeria tenella play key roles in motility,
migration, attachment, and invasion processes. More than 20 apicomplexan parasite's MICs …

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 …
