Abstrakt: The serial passage of 3 strains of Eimeria from the chicken in embryonating turkey embryos is reported here. All 3 strains increased their reproduction in turkey embryos; reproduction being equal to or better than the same lines maintained in chicken embryos. Pathogenicity and immunogenicity trials conducted in chickens using these 3 strains of Eimeria showed that all 3 turkey embryo-adapted lines were significantly less pathogenic than the parent lines. Only 1 of the lines (E. tenella (PS) turkey embryo-adapted) maintained its immunogenic potential.
