Abstract

The effects of primary infection with Leucocytozoon caulleryi in specific-pathogen-free (SPF) chickens and their resistance to reinfection were studied. Three doses of 2 X 10 2X10 and 2X 10 Leucocytozoon caulleryi sporozoites were inoculated into three groups of 56-day-old SPF chickens resulted in 75 100 100 infection rates and 0 25 25 mortality rates respectively. Surviving chickens had antibody titres of 2 to 32 on agar gel precipitation test and when reinoculated at 35 days after the primary infection showed 100 resistance.
