Coccidiosis is an economically important gastrointestinal disease in domestic fowl. Eimeria species are the causative agents of avian coccidiosis. Current challenges management and prevention eimeriosis enhance need for research this field. Sporozoite purification a necessary step spp. vitro infection models. alternatives such as DE-52 anion exchange chromatography Percoll gradient require time resources. We present modified protocol consisting on vacuum filtration sporozoites using...
Abstract Poultry coccidiosis causes considerable economical losses to the livestock industry. Eimeria parasites are responsible for this disease. On a global scale, E. acervulina and tenella amongst most common spp. infecting broilers. is commonly used as infection model in vivo vitro studies. other hand, has barely been studied under conditions. A well established widely Madin-Darby bovine kidney cell line (MDBK); however, little known regarding suitability of MDBK cells host . We infected...
Abstract Trichomonas gallinae are parasitic flagellates of importance in wild and domestic birds. The parasite is worldwide distributed, Columbine birds its main host. Current research focuses mostly on epidemiological phylogenetic studies. However, there still a lack knowledge regarding parasite-host interaction or therapy development. Real-time PCR useful tool for diagnostic quantification gene copies determined sample. By amplification 113-bp region the 18S small subunit ribosomal RNA...
Eimeria acervulina is a frequent intestinal pathogen of chickens, causing economic impact on the poultry industry. Cryptosporidium parvum neglected parasite in chickens. However, because its zoonotic potential, cryptosporidiosis may pose risk to public health. Little known about parasite-host interactions during coinfection with both parasites. In this study, we investigated possible vitro E. and C. chicken macrophage cell line (HD11).HD11 cells were inoculated sporozoites incubated 2, 6,...
