Coccidiosis is recognized as the major parasitic disease of poultry and is caused by the
apicomplexan protozoan Eimeria. Coccidiosis seriously impairs the growth and feed …

Avian coccidiosis, an intestinal disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Eimeria,
occurs worldwide. It is considered to be one of the most economically important diseases of …

Dysregulation of the immune system is associated with many pathologies, including
cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancer. To date, the most commonly used models in …

Avian coccidiosis is caused by Eimeria, which is an intracellular apicomplexan parasite that
invades through the intestinal tract to cause devastating disease. Upon invasion through the …

Salmonella enterica is a facultative intracellular pathogen that is capable of causing disease
in a range of hosts. Although human salmonellosis is frequently associated with …

Avian influenza virus can cause serious disease in a wide variety of birds and mammals, but

We isolated the full-length chicken IL-10 (chIL-10) cDNA from an expressed sequence tag
library derived from RNA from cecal tonsils of Eimeria tenella-infected chickens. It encodes a …

Interferon (IFN) responses, mediated by a myriad of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs), are the
most profound innate immune responses against viruses. Cumulatively, these IFN effectors …

Coccidiosis, a major intestinal parasitic disease of poultry, induces a cell-mediated immune
response against the etiologic agent of the disease, Eimeria. In the current study, the …
