Vaccine efficacy against high E. maxima W challenge (10,000 oocysts/bird). a Intestinal lesion scores from vaccinated and control chickens. Lesion scores were determined 6 days after E. maxima W challenge (35 days of age). Diamonds represent individual animals and bars indicate average values and standard deviations. Groups marked with different letters were significantly different (Kruskal-Wallis test, P < 0.05). b Percentage body weight gains (BWG) from vaccinated and control chickens 12 days after challenge. BWG was calculated from day of challenge (29 days of age) to day of cull (41 days of age). Dots represent individual animals and bars indicate average values and standard deviations. Groups marked with different letters were significantly different (ANOVA, P < 0.05)
