Table 4 List of strains used in the present study. All listed strains are “mono-eukaryotic clonal cultures”, type of in vitro cultivation, xenic or monoxenic, is indicated. All H. meleagridis cultures were established in our laboratory from caecal material and faeces of infected turkeys or chickens that were sent to our Clinic (Clinic for Poultry and Fish Medicine, University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna, Austria) for routine diagnostic investigation. The host bird species for each culture is indicated in the assignment of the strain according to following scheme: Histomonas meleagridis /bird species from which he parasite was isolated/country/diagnostic number – clone no. at micromanipulation/year of isolation
