E. tenella
Coccidiosis: transverse, white bands of oocysts
Light infection
Coccidiosis: white plaques coming together, thickened intestinal wall
Heavy infection
Coccidiosis: light and heavy infections
Potential precursor to necrotic enteritis
Coccidiosis: Thickened intestinal walls, mucous/blood-tinged exudate, blood spots on intestinal wall
Potential presursor to necrotic enteritis
Coccidiosis: Ballooning intestine, white open circles of schizonts, blood spots on intestinal wall, mucous/blood-filled exudate
Seen more in “longer-lived” flocks because longer life cycle
Coccidiosis: Mucus, blood spots arranged in bands across rectum, vertical bumps appear in rectum
Seen more in “longer-lived” flocks because longer life cycle
