Table 1.

Effect of anti-IL17A Ab on E. tenella infection.

Treatment group	Lesion score (scale of 0–4)
No infection, no anti-IL17A Ab administration	0^a
Infection, no anti-IL17A Ab administration	2.5 ± 0.49^b
Infection, anti-IL17A Ab administration	1.1 ± 0.4^c

Each value represents the mean ± SD of three independent antibody administration/infection trials. Within each parameter values with different superscripts are significantly different (p < 0.05) according to Duncan’s multiple range test. The statistical analysis detected significant differences among experimental groups. Birds infected and inoculated with anti-IL17A Ab showed significant lower lesion scores than infected and non-inoculated birds (p < 0.05).
