Table 1

Eimeria papillata developmental stages in jejuna of mice (per 10 villi) and oocyst output on day 5 p.i.

Group	Meronts	Male and female gamonts	Developing oocysts	Total number of parasitic stages	Oocyst output × 10^3/g faeces
Infected (−PPE)	95 ± 11	64 ± 12	31 ± 5	190 ± 14	310 ± 47
Infected (+PPE)	58 ± 7^*	31 ± 9^*	21 ± 4^*	110 ± 11^*	140 ± 51^*

Values are means ± SD.
^*P ≤ 0.05, significant against infected (−PPE) group.
