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

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 …

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 …

The gene coding for Eimeria tenella protein EtMIC3 was cloned by screening a sporozoite
cDNA library with two independent monoclonal antibodies raised against the oocyst stage …

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 …

Eimeria tenella, in common with other parasitic protozoa of the phylum Apicomplexa,
invades host cells using an actinomyosin-powered" glideosome" complex and requires the …

A 50 kDa acidic protein, which is found within the microneme organelles of Eimeria tenella
sporozoites and merozoites and called E. tenella mic-2, was cloned by immunoscreening of …

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 organelles are located at the apical tip of invading stages of all apicomplexan
parasites and they contain proteins that are critical for parasite adhesion to host cells. In this …

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