Three experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of concurrent infections of S. typhimurium and E. tenella on establishment of salmonella infection in chickens. There were 4 groups in all experiments: noninfected controls, birds infected with 50,000 E. tenella oocysts, birds infected with .apprx. 104 S. typhimurium, and birds infected with a combination of E. tenella and S. typhimurium. In the 1st experiment with 3 identical trials of 80 birds each, chickens were infected with the organisms and necropsied 1, 3, 5 and 7 days later. Concurrent infections of coccidia and salmonella did not significantly enhance salmonella infection in terms of number of salmonella in the ceca and the number of positive birds for salmonella. In the 2nd experiment, consisting of 3 replications of 80 chickens each, birds were exposed to salmonella on the day of coccidia exposure, 2, 4 or 6 days thereafter and killed 1 day later. Salmonella in the ceca of coccidia-infected chickens did not increase significantly as compared with salmonella exposure alone. In the 3rd experiment, with 3 replications of 60 birds each, chickens were exposed consecutively to salmonella for 1 through 5 days and killed 7, 10 and 14 days after coccidia infection. There was a significant increase in the number of salmonella in coccidia-infected ceca and the number of chickens positive for salmonella in ceca or in liver when compared with those of salmonella infection alone.
