A study was conducted to assess the influence of dietary aflatoxin on Eimeria uzura in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica). Quail receiving 1 part per million (ppm) of dietary aflatoxin B1 and inoculated with 10(5) sporulated oocysts of E. uzura gained significantly less weight than chicks receiving either aflatoxin or coccidia alone. Increased morbidity, mortality and decreased efficiency of feed utilization were also evident. The combination of E. uzura infection and aflatoxicosis resulted in reduction in packed cell volume (PCV) and haemoglobin (Hb). The combination of E. uzura infection and aflatoxicosis in Japanese quail may influence the course of coccidial infection due to the additive effects of aflatoxin.
开展了一项研究，以评估日粮黄曲霉毒素对日本鹌鹑（Coturnix coturnix japonica）感染乌氏艾美耳球虫的影响。接受百万分之一（ppm）日粮黄曲霉毒素B1并接种10⁵个乌氏艾美耳球虫孢子化卵囊的鹌鹑，其体重增加显著低于单独接受黄曲霉毒素或球虫感染的雏鸡。发病率和死亡率增加以及饲料利用率降低也很明显。乌氏艾美耳球虫感染与黄曲霉毒素中毒相结合导致红细胞压积（PCV）和血红蛋白（Hb）降低。日本鹌鹑中乌氏艾美耳球虫感染与黄曲霉毒素中毒的结合可能由于黄曲霉毒素的累加效应而影响球虫感染的进程。
