in vitro evaluation of the efficiency of Artemisia judaica leaf extract on sporulation of Eimeria papillate oocysts and its cytotoxicity [PDF]
Eimeria is the parasite that is responsible for eimeriosis in the gut of numerous domestic mammals. While treating eimeriosis, the use of medication and some effects of synthetic anticoccidials has led to the development of resistant parasites ...

Eimeria tenella is the most pathogenic intracellular protozoan parasite of the Eimeria species. Eimeria oocyst wall biogenesis appears to play a central role in oocyst transmission. Proteome profiling offers insights into the mechanisms governing the molecular basis of oocyst wall formation and identifies targets for blocking parasite transmission ...

SUMMARY: Vaccination against avian coccidiosis is increasingly being used by the poultry industry to prevent outbreaks of this parasitic disease, but problems with nonuniform administration of Eimeria oocysts by spray vaccination at the hatchery is ...

Goussia trichogasteri n. sp. (Apicomplexa: Eimenidae) infecting the aquarium-cultured golden gourami Trichogaster trichopterus trichopterus [PDF]
Goussia trichogasteri n. sp. is described from the gut of the aquarium fish Trichogaster trichopterus trichopterus. Gamogonic stages develop epicellularly in the gut epithelium. Oocysts are shed in early stage of sporulation.

Eimeria tenella protein trafficking: differential regulation of secretion versus surface tethering during the life cycle [PDF]
Eimeria spp. are intracellular parasites that have a major impact on poultry. Effective live vaccines are available and the development of reverse genetic technologies has raised the prospect of using Eimeria spp.

Studies on coccidian oocysts (Apicomplexa: Eucoccidiorida) [PDF]
The oocysts of the coccidia are robust structures, frequently isolated from the feces or urine of their hosts, which provide resistance to mechanical damage and allow the parasites to survive and remain infective for prolonged periods. The diagnosis of coccidiosis, species description and systematics, are all dependent upon characterization of the ...

Toxoplasma gondii Oocyst–specific Antibodies and Source of Infection
Infection source can determine cost-effective public health interventions. To quantify risk of acquiring Toxoplasma gondii from environmental sources versus from meat, we examined serum from pregnant women in Chile.

A new pathogen transmission mechanism in the ocean: the case of sea otter exposure to the land-parasite Toxoplasma gondii. [PDF]
Toxoplasma gondii is a land-derived parasite that infects humans and marine mammals. Infections are a significant cause of mortality for endangered southern sea otters (Enhydra lutris nereis), but the transmission mechanism is poorly understood.

Defining stage-specific activity of potent new inhibitors of Cryptosporidium parvum growth in vitro [PDF]
Currently, nitazoxanide is the only FDA-approved treatment for cryptosporidiosis; unfortunately, it is ineffective in immunocompromised patients, has varied efficacy in immunocompetent individuals, and is not approved in infants under 1 year of age ...

Viral proteins expressed in the protozoan parasite Eimeria tenella are detected by the chicken immune system [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Eimeria species are parasitic protozoa that cause coccidiosis, an intestinal disease commonly characterised by malabsorption, diarrhoea and haemorrhage that is particularly important in chickens.
