MicroRNA expression profile of chicken jejunum in different time points Eimeria maxima infection

Avian coccidiosis is a significant parasitic disease in chickens caused by the intracellular apicomplexan protozoa Eimeria which specifically affects the intestinal tract ultimately resulting in a severe and devastating disease. The aimed to investigate host small ribonucleic acid expression in the chicken jejunum at four and seven days following infection with Eimeria maxima and the investigation utilized small ribonucleic acid sequencing technology in combination with bioinformatics analysis. Micro ribonucleic acid sequencing using high throughput technology enables a comprehensive analysis of small ribonucleic acid expression patterns and their regulatory roles during coccidian infection in chickens jejunum. This approach enhances the understanding of the infections molecular mechanisms and offers potential avenues for developing therapeutic strategies to combat the disease.
