Abstract

An experimental infection of Leucocytozoon caulleryi in the Malaysian indigenous chickens was carried out by the inoculation via wing-vein of forty 21-day-old chickens with varying doses of L. caulleryi sporozoites. Infection rates ranged from 60 to 100. However no clinical signs were observed. The period of parasitemia was observed from days 16 to 24 after inoculation and serum-soluble antigens and their antibodies were detected between days 14 to 16 and from day 18 onwards respectively. The bodyweight gains of three groups of chickens heavily infected with L. caulleryi were significantly different (P0.05) compared to uninoculated control.
