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

ABSTRACT: Coccidiosis stands as a protozoan disease of notable economic impact, characterized by an intracellular parasite that exerts substantial influence over poultry production. This invasion disrupts the integrity of the enteric mucosa, leading to the emergence of severe lesions and diminishing the efficiency of feed utilization in chickens. MicroRNA (miRNA) are short, non-coding RNA molecules with approximately 21-24 nucleotides long in size that play essential roles in various infectious diseases and inflammatory responses. However, the miRNA's expression patterns and roles in the context of Eimeria maxima infection of chicken intestines remain unclear. miRNA sequencing was employed to assess the miRNA expression profile in chicken jejunum during E. maxima infection.
