BWG data are expressed as mean ± SE; Values within a column with no common superscript differ significantly (P < 0.05). Data were analyzed using JMP Pro 16 ANOVA, further separated by Tukey's HSD.

1

Vaccination Phase began on d0 with administration of respective dose and route of either Vacc Buford P80a or Buford WTH cells/turkey.

2

The PC was terminated on d15 for lesion scores.

V-PC = Vaccination Phase positive-challenged control; Vacc = live-attenuated Histomonas meleagridis; NC = non-challenged control; WTH = wild-type H. meleagridis.

Indicates significant difference in mortalities (P < 0.05) as compared to V-PC Cloacal 200k with chi-square test.
