In order to find a new preservation solution for avian coccidial oocysts that can replace potassium dichromate (KCrO) solution, Eimeria tenella oocysts were preserved in 0.1 to 10% potassium sorbate (CHKO) solution in this study. The results showed that there was no significant difference between the sporulation rate of E. tenella oocysts preserved in 0.1 to 10% CHKO solution and in 2.5% KCrO solution (p > 0.05). The 0.5 to 10% CHKO solution could also effectively inhibit the growth of bacterial microorganisms. E. tenella oocysts preserved in 1% CHKO solution at 4 °C for 3, 6, 9, and 12 months, with the oocyst production of E. tenella oocysts being 1.3-, 1.2-, 1.6-, and 1.3-fold higher than that of oocysts stored in 2.5% KCrO solution (p < 0.05). In conclusion, CHKO could replace KCrO as the preservation solution of avian coccidial oocysts.

Purpose: Flotation methods are widely used to detect oocysts/cysts of protozoans and eggs of helminths, except trematodes. However, details regarding the concentration and recovery rates of these parasites are poorly understood.
Methods: Using Eimeria tenella oocysts as a model parasite, the present study evaluated three check points: (1) the proportion of parasites that remain floating in flotation solution (sucrose or saturated saline) during centrifugation, (2) the proportion of oocysts that naturally float after addition of flotation solution after centrifugation, and (3) the rate of recovery on cover slips after completion of the flotation protocol.

Coccidiosis is caused by apicomplexan parasites of the genus Eimeria, which infect epithelial cells of the intestinal tract causing diarrhea and negatively impacting production in the poultry industry. The self-limiting and highly immunogenic nature of infection by Eimeria spp. make live vaccination an effective means of coccidiosis control.

Unlabelled: Agricultural water is a potential source of microbial contamination whereby and can enter the food supply. To reduce this risk, effective sanitization of agricultural water may be critical to food safety. As such, it is important to investigate the effects of aqueous peracetic acid (PAA) and chlorine (Cl) on bacteria and protozoa at different treatment times and temperatures in agricultural water with respect to key water characteristics.

Background: Growing evidence indicates that N-methylguanosine (mG) modification plays critical roles in epigenetic regulation. However, no data regarding mG modification are currently available in Eimeria tenella, a highly virulent species causing coccidiosis in chickens.
Methods: In the present study, we explore the distribution of internal messenger RNA (mRNA) mG modification in sporulated and unsporulated oocysts of E.
