| Abstract | Comparisons were made between infections with Eimeria spp. in normal animals and in animals with functional deficiencies in either T-lymphocytes (athymic nude rats) or B-lymphocytes (bursectomized chickens). Approximately three times more oocysts of E. nieschulzi were passed during a primary infection in the nu/nu rats, and in contrast to the nu/+ rats, they were completely susceptible to reinfection. Nu/nu rats did not produce agglutinating antibodies to sporozoites, and injections of serum from immunized nu/+ rats caused a reduction of oocyst production during a primary infection in both nu/nu and nu/+ rats. In chickens, oocyst production in primary infections with E. maxima or with E. acervulina was increased 1.5 to 2-fold in the bursectomised (BX) groups, and the clinical effects of infection with E. maxima were greater than in controls. The BX birds were slightly more susceptible than the controls to challenge inoculations of oocysts, but nevertheless, they were very substantially immune. Tests for the functioning of B- and T-lymphocytes indicated that in the BX birds there was a severe deficiency of B-cell function, but near-normal T-cell function. The results show that T-lymphocytes are essential for immunity and that, although they may function partly as helper cells for immunoglobulin production, their major effect is exerted via some other mechanism. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
