Eimeria necatrix

Molecular classification: Protozoan parasite, Apicomplexa, Coccidia

Overview

Eimeria necatrix is a protozoan parasite that causes coccidiosis in chickens. It is a highly pathogenic species causing intestinal lesions and high mortality. The parasite's life cycle includes both exogenous and endogenous phases, with distinct developmental stages occurring in the mid-intestine and cecum. Transmission occurs via the fecal-oral route through ingestion of sporulated oocysts.
