Coccidiosis is an intestinal parasitic disease that causes huge economic losses to the
poultry industry globally. Eimeria tenella belonging to protozoon is the causative agent of …

Eimeria tenella (E. tenella) is a highly pathogenic and prevalent species of Eimeria that
infects chickens, and it causes a considerable disease burden worldwide. The secreted …

Micronemes are secretary organelles of the invasive stages of all Apicomplascan parasites,
and their proteins are crucial for parasite motility, adhesion and host cell invasion. The gene …

Though genome sequencing of Eimeria tenella predicts more than 8,000 genes, the
molecular functions of many proteins remain unknown. In this study, the coding region …

Introduction Vacuolar protein sorting 29 (VPS29) is a core component of the retromer-

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 …

Invasion in several apicomplexan parasites, including Eimeria tenella, is accompanied by
shedding of surface adhesins by intramembrane proteolysis mediated by rhomboid …

Difficulties of in vitro culture and genetic manipulation of Eimeria tenella have hindered the
screening of virulence factors in this parasite. In this study, the E. tenella rhoptry protein 30 …

Eimeria acervulina (E. acervulina) is an intestinal protozoon and few of its antigen genes
were researched. In this study, the gene of E. acervulina microneme protein 2 (EaMIC2) was …
