Establishment of an in vitro chicken epithelial cell line model to investigate Eimeria tenella gamete development.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Aedes aegypti is a potential vector of West Nile, Japanese encephalitis, chikungunya, dengue and Zika viruses. Alternative control measurements of the vector are needed to overcome the problems of environmental contamination and chemical resistance. Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus are symbionts in the intestine...
