Abstract
In 1959 Senger et al. reported that calves which had received a small oral inoculation of Eimeria bovis oocysts were later resistant to larger challenge inoculations. In an investigation on the mechanism of this immune reaction, Hammond et al. (1959) compared the number and size of E. bovis schizonts in immunized and nonimmunized calves, but found no significant difference in the results. They conducted 3 experiments using 28 young male Holstein-Friesian calves, and killed the majority of these calves for examination 17 to 20 days after the challenge inoculation.
