Comprehensive molecular characterization of complete mitogenome assemblies of 33 Eimeria isolates infecting domestic chickens

Abstract: Background Coccidiosis caused by Eimeria is one of the most severe chicken diseases and poses a great economic threat to the poultry industry. Understanding the evolutionary biology of chicken Eimeria parasites underpins development of new interactions toward the improved prevention and control of this poultry disease. Methods We presented an evolutionary blueprint of chicken coccidia by genetically characterizing complete mitogenome assemblies of … Show more

“…In the existing literature, the mitochondrial genomes of apicomplexan protozoa, which include species such as Toxoplasma , Cyclospora , Isospora , and Eimeria , are relatively compact, averaging around 6 kilobases (kb) in size [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. These organisms not only share a similar gene composition but they also exhibit a conserved gene arrangement.…”

“…No transfer RNAs (tRNAs) were found in the E. zuernii mitogenome, similar to other Eimeria spp. [ 17 , 37 43 ]. Likewise, the E. zuernii mitogenome was biased towards AT (64.52–67.37%) with T as the most favored base and G the least favored.…”
