| cryptic eimeria genotypes are common across the southern but not northern hemisphere. | the phylum apicomplexa includes parasites of medical, zoonotic and veterinary significance. understanding the global distribution and genetic diversity of these protozoa is of fundamental importance for efficient, robust and long-lasting methods of control. eimeria spp. cause intestinal coccidiosis in all major livestock animals and are the most important parasites of domestic chickens in terms of both economic impact and animal welfare. despite having significant negative impacts on the efficie ... | 2016 | 27368611 |
| prevalence of eimeria spp. in broilers by multiplex pcr in the southern region of brazil on two hundred and fifty farms. | parasitic infections caused by eimeria species are responsible for most economic losses in poultry production. prevalence studies can adequately assist the design of prophylaxis strategies for disease control. therefore, stool samples from 251 flocks of broilers from 28 to 48 days old were collected in 21 municipalities in the state of santa catarina, brazil, to detect and examine the prevalence of eimeria acervulina, eimeria maxima, eimeria tenella, eimeria mitis, eimeria praecox, eimeria necat ... | 2015 | 26473679 |
| identification and immunogenicity of microneme protein 2 (ebmic2) of eimeria brunetti. | there have been only a few antigen genes of eimeria brunetti reported up to now. in this study, the gene encoding the microneme protein 2 (ebmic2) was isolated from oocysts of e. brunetti by rt-pcr and the immunogenicity of recombinant ebmic2 was observed. the ebmic2 was cloned into vector pmd19-t for sequencing. the sequence was compared with the published ebmic2 gene from genbank revealed homology of the nucleotide sequence and amino acids sequence were 99.43 and 98.63%, respectively. the corr ... | 2016 | 26743188 |
| analysis of humoral immune response and cytokines in chickens vaccinated with eimeria brunetti apical membrane antigen-1 (ebama1) dna vaccine. | this study aimed to determine the changes of cytokines, specific serum igg and several parameters in chickens vaccinated with dna vaccine encoding eimeria brunetti apical membrane antigen-1 (ebama1) antigen. two-week-old chickens were divided into five groups (four groups for experiment) randomly. experimental groups of chickens were immunized with dna vaccine while control group of chickens were injected with pvax1 plasmid alone or te buffer solution. all immunizations were boosted 2 weeks late ... | 2014 | 24815774 |
| characterization of eimeria brunetti isolated from a poultry farm in japan. | none of anticoccidial vaccines (trivalent tam™, monovalent neca™ and imported pentavalent paracox(®)-5) contain eimeria brunetti in japan, which has not been regarded as a cause of coccidiosis, because of its low prevalence. however, we have recently reported the evidence of a high nationwide prevalence of this species. in this report, we describe the characteristics of e. brunetti which have never been clearly defined in japan. mortality rates and other disease characteristics caused by our str ... | 2014 | 23965940 |
