Four major types of surface conformation were observed in the ceca of uninoculated control chickens. Spatulate villi were found in the cecal neck region, low ridges in the region where the neck expands, protruding collarlike structures in the mid cecal pouch, and flattened collars in the distal portion. In ceca infected with Eimeria tenella, there was some erosion and sloughing of the mucosal cells. These lesions were slight in the neck region, more severe in the dilated portion, most severe in the midregion, and moderate in the distal area. Oocysts were observed in the mucosal tissue of the cecal pouch.
在未接种的对照鸡盲肠中观察到四种主要类型的表面形态。在盲肠颈部区域发现有匙状绒毛，在颈部扩张区域有低脊，在盲肠中部有突出的领状结构，在远端部分有扁平的领状结构。在感染柔嫩艾美耳球虫的盲肠中，有一些黏膜细胞的侵蚀和脱落。这些病变在颈部区域较轻，在扩张部分更严重，在中部最严重，在远端区域为中度。在盲肠袋的黏膜组织中观察到卵囊。
