Sequencing and analysis of chromosome 1 of Eimeria tenella reveals a unique segmental organisation. Genome Research, 17(3), 311-319. https://doi.org/10.1101/gr.5823007

Eimeria tenella is an intracellular protozoan parasite that infects the intestinal tracts of domestic fowl and causes coccidiosis, a serious and sometimes lethal enteritis. Eimeria falls in the same phylum (Apicomplexa) as several human and animal pa... Read More about Sequencing and analysis of chromosome 1 of Eimeria tenella reveals a unique segmental organisation.

Dietary vitamin D improves performance and bone mineralisation, but increases parasite replication and compromises gut health in Eimeria infected broilers
Journal Article
Sakkas, P., Oikeh, I., Blake, D. P., Smith, S., & Kyriazakis, I. (in press). Dietary vitamin D improves performance and bone mineralisation, but increases parasite replication and compromises gut health in Eimeria infected broilers. British Journal of Nutrition, https://doi.org/10.1017/S0007114519001375

Coccidial infections may reduce fat soluble vitamin status and bone mineralisation in broiler chickens. We hypothesised that broilers infected with Eimeria maxima would benefit from increased dietary supplementation with vitamin D (vitD) or with 25-O...

Illumina next generation sequencing for the analysis of Eimeria populations in commercial broilers and indigenous chickens
Journal Article
Hinsu, A. T., Thakkar, J. R., Koringa, P. G., Vrba, V., Jakhesara, S. J., Psifidi, A., Guitian, J., Tomley, F. M., Rank, D. N., Raman, M., Joshi, C. G., & Blake, D. P. (in press). Illumina next generation sequencing for the analysis of Eimeria populations in commercial broilers and indigenous chickens. Frontiers in Veterinary Science, https://doi.org/10.3389/fvets.2018.00176

Eimeria species parasites can cause the enteric disease coccidiosis, most notably in chickens where the economic and welfare implications are significant. Seven Eimeria species are recognized to infect chickens, although understanding of their region...

Transcriptome analysis of the adult rumen fluke Paramphistomum cervi following next generation sequencing
Journal Article
Choudhary, V., Garg, S., Chourasia, R., Hasnani, J. J., Patel, P. V., Shah, T. M., Bhatt, V. D., Mohapatra, A., Blake, D. P., & Joshi, C. G. (in press). Transcriptome analysis of the adult rumen fluke Paramphistomum cervi following next generation sequencing. Gene, 570(1), 64-70. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gene.2015.06.002

Rumen flukes are parasitic trematodes (Platyhelminthes: Digenea) of major socioeconomic importance in many countries. Key representatives, such as Paramphistomum cervi, can cause “Rumen fluke disease” or paramphistomosis and undermine economic animal...
