  • Title: Dual infections of Eimeria tenella and Escherichia coli in chickens.
    Author: Nakamura K, Isobe T, Narita M.
    Journal: Res Vet Sci; 1990 Jul; 49(1):125-6. PubMed ID: 2143305.
    Abstract:
    The interactive effects of Eimeria tenella and Escherichia coli infection in chickens were investigated. Specific pathogen free chickens inoculated orally with E tenella and challenged four days later with E coli via the air sac showed more severe acute septicaemic lesions and subacute serositis than chickens given E coli alone. Moreover, caecal lesions induced by E tenella were more severe in chickens given both E tenella and E coli than in those given E tenella alone. In contrast, oral inoculation of E coli did not result in acute septicaemic lesions or subacute serositis and had no effect on the severity of the caecal lesions caused by E tenella.
