Additional file 3: of Comparative transcriptome analysis of Eimeria maxima (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) suggests DNA replication activities correlating with its fecundity

Comparative endogenous development for the E. maxima wild strain and its precocious line. Chickens were sacrificed after indicated times post-inoculation with the E. maxima wild strain BJ-WT-130 and the precocious line BJ-PL-98. The small intestines were used for H&E staining. Black, white and red arrows indicate the schizonts, gametocytes and unsporulated oocysts, respectively. Black arrowhead indicates microgametocytes. Bar = 20 μm. (PDF 52347 kb
