Apical membrane antigen 1 (AMA1) is a type I integral membrane protein that is highly
conserved in apicomplexan parasites. Previous studies have shown that Eimeria tenella …

Apical membrane antigen-1 (AMA1) is a micronemal protein of apicomplexan parasites that
appears to be essential during the invasion of host cells. In this study, a full-length cDNA of …

Eimeria tenella is an obligate intracellular parasite in the phylum Apicomplexa. As described
for other members of Apicomplexa, apical membrane antigen 1 (AMA1) has been shown to …

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

Avian coccidiosis is a widespread and economically significant disease of poultry. It is an
enteric disease caused by several protozoan Eimeria species. Eimeria belongs to 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-1 protein (EtMIC1) has been proposed to be a transmembrane
protein, but this characteristic has not yet been confirmed experimentally. Furthermore …

Abstract Microneme proteins (MICs) of Eimeria species are critical for motility of the parasite,
identification and binding of host cell-surface proteins, invasion of host cells, and …

Egress is a vital step in the endogenous development of apicomplexan parasites, as it
assures the parasites exit from consumed host cells and entry into fresh ones. However, little …

Apicomplexans are important pathogens that cause severe infections in humans and
animals. The biology and pathogeneses of these parasites have shown that proteins are …
