Demonstration of Eimeria tenella in bursa of Fabricius of chickens. 1976

W I Anderson, and J J Giambrone, and O J Fletcher, and C S Eidson, and W M Reid

Coccidial life-cytle stages were detected in the bursa of Fabricius of broiler chickens inoculated with Eimeria tenella, whether or not the chickens had previously been infected with infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). Chickens infected only with E. tenella had developing parasites in the lining epithelium, whereas chickens with both infections had gametocytes also in the epithelial cells surrounding numerous degenerating bursal cysts.
