“…This disagreement could be attributed to the fact that vaccine oocysts are of low pathogenicity and do not cause such severe lesions as wild-type oocysts. Furthermore, the number of oocysts contained in the vaccine was much lower compared with field infection or experimental challenge (Waldenstedt et al, 2000;Holdsworth et al, 2004). The increased viscosity of the ileum content in birds vaccinated with attenuated anticoccidial vaccine was not followed by increased caecal counts of C. perfringens.…”

“…containing 500 000 viable oocysts per milliliter. The chickens were monitored daily for signs of infection, which was defined as the presence of oocysts in the faeces with concurrent bloody diarrhoea (Holdsworth et al, 2004). At the first signs of infection, chickens were treated with one of the herbal extracts, once a day for 5 days at 1 ml/bird by gavage.…”
