Dynamically expressed genes provide candidate viability biomarkers in a model coccidian
MS Tucker, CN O'Brien, MC Jenkins, BM Rosenthal - Plos one, 2021 - journals.plos.org
Eimeria parasites cause enteric disease in livestock and the closely related Cyclospora
cayetanensis causes human disease. Oocysts of these coccidian parasites undergo
maturation (sporulation) before becoming infectious. Here, we assessed transcription in
maturing oocysts of Eimeria acervulina, a widespread chicken parasite, predicted gene
functions, and determined which of these genes also occur in C. cayetanensis. RNA-
Sequencing yielded~ 2 billion paired-end reads, 92% of which mapped to the E. acervulina …
