Eimeria tenella is an apicomplexan, parasitic protozoan known to infect poultry worldwide.
An important calcium-dependent protein kinase (CDPK) has been identified in plants, green …

Avian coccidiosis is a common disease caused by Eimeria spp. In the genus Eimeria, the
species Eimeria tenella is an obligate intracellular parasite that invades mostly chicken …

Eimeria tenella is an obligate intracellular parasite that actively invades cecal epithelial cells
of chickens. The basis of cell invasion is not completely understood, but some key molecules …

Background Eimeria tenella is an obligate intracellular apicomplexan protozoan parasite
that has a complex life-cycle. Calcium ions, through various calcium-dependent protein …

The initiation of translation in eukaryotic cells is stimulated by proteins known as initiation
factors (eIFs). A structurally complex eIF composed of multiple subunits, eIF3 has been …

The calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) are unique enzymes found only in plants,
green algae, ciliates and apicomplexan parasites. In this study, a novel CDPK gene of …

Eimeria tenella, an obligate intracellular apicomplexan parasite, is the major causative
agent of chicken coccidiosis. Some epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domain-containing …

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 …

Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan parasite that causes amoebic dysentery and liver
abscess. This pathogen possesses a two-stage life cycle consisting of an environmentally …

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 …
