Scoring of severity and extent of lesions in cecal tissues among experimental groups.

Lesions	G1: Control healthy group	G2: Infected non-treated	G3: Infected + Diclazuril	G4: Infected + LF	G5: Infected + LF + Diclazuril
Necrotic typhlitis	−	+++	+	+	−
Goblet cells hyperplasia	−	+++	+	++	+
Developmental stages of Coccidia	−	+++	+	+	−
Cystic dilatation of cecal crypts	−	++	++	−	−
Hemorrhages	−	++	+	+	−
Eosinophil aggregations	−	+++	++	+	+
Diffuse round cells infiltration	−	++	+	++	+

Number of examined fields (five fields/chicken, X100). The lesions were graded by estimating the percentage area affected in the entire section: Lesions score system was as follows: − = absence of lesion, + = 5–25%, ++ = 26–50%, and +++ = ˃50%.
