Vaccine efficacy against low E. maxima W challenge (300 oocysts/bird). aEimeria maxima W burdens quantified by q-PCR and presented as a parasite genomes per host genome ratio. Dots represent individual animals and bars indicate average values and standard deviations. Groups marked with different letters were significantly different (ANOVA, P < 0.0001). b Lesion scores observed in chickens used to quantify parasite replication. Diamonds represent individual animals and bars indicate average values and standard deviations. No differences were observed (Kruskal-Wallis test, P = 0.3803). c IFN-γ and IL-10 local immune responses in the intestine from birds used to quantify parasite replication. Dots represent individual animals and bars indicate average values and standard deviations. Groups linked with lines were significantly different (ANOVA, *P < 0.05, **0.0001 < P < 0.05, ***P < 0.0001)
