Eimeria tenella is an obligate intracellular parasite responsible for avian coccidiosis. Like
other apicomplexan parasites, such as Toxoplasma gondii, cell invasion and intracellular …

Eimeria necatrix is an obligate intracellular parasite that has a complex life cycle and causes
significant economic losses to the poultry industry. To better understand the cellular invasion …

Simple Summary Rhoptry proteins (ROPs) of phylum Apicomplexa parasites are important
secretory virulence factors as well as candidate vaccines. However, studies on ROPs of …

Maternally derived IgG antibodies to protective Eimeria antigens have great potential to
control chicken coccidiosis and multivalent vaccines are more practical to resist against co …

Eimeria intestinalis infects rabbits, causing severe intestinal coccidiosis. Prolonged
anticoccidial drug use might lead to coccidia resistance and drug residues in food. Thus …

Though a number of Eimeria tenella rhoptry kinase family proteins have been identified, little
is known about their molecular functions. In the present study, the gene fragment encoding …

Background Rhoptry organelle proteins (ROPs) secreted by apicomplexan parasites play
important roles during parasites invasion and survival in host cells, and are potential vaccine …

Avian coccidiosis caused by Eimeria is a serious parasitic disease that poses a threat to the
poultry industry. Currently, prevention and treatment mainly rely on the administration of …

The intracellular protozoan Eimeria tenella is responsible for avian coccidiosis which is
characterized by host intestinal damage. During developmental cycle, E. tenella undergoes …
