  • Title: Changes in moribund chickens as a result of Eimeria necatrix infection.
    Author: Witlock DR.
    Journal: J Parasitol; 1984 Jun; 70(3):433-5. PubMed ID: 6333503.
    Abstract:
    Chickens dying from Eimeria necatrix infection had clinical signs indicative of hypothermia, depleted carbohydrate stores, acidosis and kidney dysfunction. Blood lost into the intestine of infected chickens was great (15-22 ml). The body temperature of moribund chickens was 10 C lower than the control. Chickens dying from E. necatrix infection displayed similar physiological defects to those of chickens dying from E. tenella infection.
