Eimeria tenella in chickens: development of resistance to quinolone anticoccidial drugs.

abstract：:Neospora caninum causes economical impact in cattle-raising farms since it is implicated as the major cause of bovine abortions. Although infection by the parasite has been widely described in mammals, the role of birds in its life-cycle is still obscure. Therefore, this work aimed to evaluate the infection by N. cani...
