Variable protection against experimental broiler necrotic enteritis after immunisation with the C-terminal fragment of Clostridium perfringens alpha-toxin and a non-toxic NetB variant [PDF]
Necrotic enteritis toxin B (NetB) is a pore-forming toxin produced by Clostridium perfringens and has been shown to play a key role in avian necrotic enteritis (NE), a disease causing significant costs to the poultry production industry worldwide.

Molecular diagnosis of Eimeria species affecting naturally infected Gallus gallus
We used PCR to test various protocols and define a technique for DNA extraction directly from chicken-shed stool samples for the identification of Eimeria species that parasitize birds. It was possible to extract and amplify DNA of seven Eimeria species from field stool samples, using both protocols tested; extractions made with phenol/chloroform ...

Enzyme variation in Eimeria species of the chicken
A method for the biochemical identification of protozoa belonging to the genus Eimeria is described for the first time. Starch gel electrophoresis of the enzymes lactate dehydrogenase, glucose phosphate isomerase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase from parasite extracts revealed both intra- and inter-species ...

Efficacy of Arprinocid (MK-302) Against Eimeria Species in Broilers
Eight floor pen trials were conducted to determine the effect of arprinocid on the weight, feed efficiency, and histological lesions of broiler chickens exposed to coccidiosis. In three trials, the levels of arprinocid were 0, 40, 60, 70, 80, and 90 ppm, and in the other five trials, 0, 50, 75, and 100 ppm.
