Tissue-specific transcriptomic adaptation in three strains of chickens during coinfections with parasites
In general, slower-performing strains effectively initiated responses favouring worm expulsion and tissue repair in the jejunum, whereas high-performing strains predominantly showed inflammatory responses in the caecum and liver. These findings highlight tissue-specific adaptations underlying strain-dependent tolerance to coinfections with mixed parasites.
