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 …

Background Avian coccidiosis is a widespread, economically significant disease of poultry,
caused by several Eimeria species. These parasites have complex and diverse life-cycles …

Eimeria tenella microneme-1 protein (EtMIC1) has been proposed to be a transmembrane
protein, but this characteristic has not yet been confirmed experimentally. Furthermore …

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

Eimeria acervulina is one of seven Eimeria spp. that can infect chicken duodenal epithelial
cells. Eimeria microneme protein 3 (MIC3) plays a vital role in the invasion of host epithelial …

Chicken coccidiosis is caused by the apicomplexan parasite Eimeria spp. At present, drug
resistance of Eimeria is common because of the indiscriminate use of anticoccidial drugs …

Eimeria infection in poultry is of significant economic interest worldwide. Development of a
cost-effective sub-unit vaccine that provides cross-protection may help reduce loss in poultry …

The effects of diclazuril on mRNA expression levels of invasion-related microneme genes
were examined in second-generation merozoites of Eimeria tenella (E. tenella) by …

The major clinical signs of coccidiosis in chickens due to Eimeria parasite are diarrhea and
bloody feces. Previous studies showed that the impairment of the intestinal epithelial barrier …

Eimeria spp. are intracellular parasites that have a major impact on poultry. Effective live
vaccines are available and the development of reverse genetic technologies has raised the …
