Cloning and characterization of an Eimeria necatrix gene encoding a gametocyte protein and associated with oocyst wall formation

Abstract Background Gametocyte proteins of Eimeria (E.) spp. are important components of the oocyst wall and some have been used to develop transmission-blocking vaccines against avian coccidiosis. Methods Total RNA isolated from E. necatrix gametocytes was utilized as templates for RT-PCR amplifica...
