Abstract:
Coccidiosis is caused by infection with Eimeria spp. The disease is responsible for major economic loss to the poultry industry unless infections are controlled by anticoccidial drugs. John Ellis and Fiona Tomley discuss recent research on the characterization and cloning of antigens from Eimeria spp and advances towards the development of genetically engineered vaccines against poultry coccidiosis.
