Stable Transfection of Eimeria intestinalis and Investigation of Its Life Cycle, Reproduction and Immunogenicity
Rabbit coccidiosis, caused by infection of Eimeria spp. is one of the most severe parasitic diseases in rabbits. Eimeria intestinalis is one of the most immunogenic species in rabbit coccidia. Due to the lack of genomic information and unsuccessful in vitro cultivation, genetic manipulation of rabbit coccidia lagged behind other apicomplexan parasites. Using regulatory sequences from E. tenella...
متن کاملEvaluation of the association of parasitism with mortality of wild European rabbits Oryctolagus cuniculus (L.) in southwestern Australia.
Abundances of the parasitic nematodes Trichostrongylus retortaeformis and Passalurus ambiguus, and 8 Eimeria species were estimated by fecal egg and oocyst output in 12 discrete free-ranging populations of wild rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in southwestern Australia. Comparisons of parasite egg and oocyst counts were made between those rabbits known to have survived at least 2 mo after fecal ...
متن کاملPrevalence of Coccidia (Eimeria spp.) Infection in Domestic Rabbits, Oryctolagus cuniculus, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
The prevalence of coccidia infection among domestic rabbits in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia was investigated for one year in the present study. Based on the morphological features of oocysts, ten species of Eimeria were identified in 100 fecal samples of domestic rabbits. The overall prevalence was 75%. Mixed infection with three different species occurred most frequently. The species detected and thei...
متن کاملTransgenic Eimeria magna Pérard, 1925 Displays Similar Parasitological Properties to the Wild-type Strain and Induces an Exogenous Protein-Specific Immune Response in Rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus L.)
Rabbit coccidiosis causes great economic losses to world rabbitries. Little work has been done considering genetic manipulation on the etiological agents, rabbit Eimeria spp. In this study, we constructed a transgenic line of Eimeria magna (EmagER) expressing enhanced yellow fluorescent protein (EYFP) and red fluorescent protein (RFP) using regulatory sequences of Eimeria tenella and Toxoplasma...
متن کاملEffect of chronic inflammation on ileal short-chain fatty acid/bicarbonate exchange.
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) have been demonstrated to at least partially ameliorate chronic intestinal inflammation. However, whether and how intestinal SCFA absorption may be altered during chronic intestinal inflammation is unknown. A rabbit model of chronic ileitis produced by coccidia was used to determine the effect of chronic inflammation on ileal SCFA/HCO(-)(3) exchange. SCFA/HCO(-)(3...
