Chicken coccidiosis is caused by protozoan parasites of Eimeria spp. and mainly characterized as diarrhea. These parasites are responsible for significant economic losses to the worldwide poultry industry. We performed comprehensive gene expression analyses on extracellular sporulation and intestinal developmental stages of E. tenella to understand their biology for the infection. By sequencing of cDNA using the next generation sequencer, assembled contigs were found to contain novel genes of E. tenella. The up- or down- regulated genes at proliferation and differentiation of the second generation schizonts in infected chicken ceca were identified by microarray analysis. These results suggested that the identified genes could be novel targets such as vaccine antigens to control the disease.
