Coccidiosis control

​Coccidiosis is a parasitic disease of the intestinal tract of animals caused by the genus Eimeria. Current control methods such as anticoccidial drugs and vaccines have their limitations. For example, the overuse of anticoccidial drugs has caused drug-resistance and drug contamination in food supply. The introduction of limited or unexpected pathogens in live vaccine and the high production cost of recombinant vaccines have limited the development of coccidiosis vaccines. The general aim of Jing Geng's research is to develop a green nanotechnology for poultry coccidiosis control.
