Cell invasion and development to schizonts by E. tenella Wis-YFP parasites in MDBK, m-ICcl2 and CLEC-213 cell lines. Cells were infected with sporozoites from E. tenella Wis-YFP at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 2 for 3 h at 41 °C. a Cell invasion was calculated as % of cell invasion by sporozoites in different cell lines. b Parasite development to the first stage schizont was assessed after 48 h infection and calculated as % of infected cells with schizonts within the total number of infected cells. Data represent the mean ± SD of at least four experiments. No statistically significant difference was found between cell lines (ANOVA)
