Eimeria tenella can cause the disease coccidiosis in chickens. The direct and often detrimental impact of this parasite on chicken health, welfare, and productivity is well recognized; however, less is known about the secondary effects that infection may have on other gut pathogens. Campylobacter jejuni is the leading cause of human bacterial foodborne disease in many countries and has been demonstrated to exert negative effects on poultry welfare and production in some broiler lines. Previous studies have shown that concurrent Eimeria infection can influence the colonization and replication of bacteria, such as Clostridium perfringens and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. Through a series of in vivo coinfection experiments, this study evaluated the impact that E. tenella infection had on C. jejuni colonization of chickens, including the influence of variations in parasite dose and sampling time after bacterial challenge. Coinfection with E. tenella resulted in a significant increase in C. jejuni colonization in the cecum in a parasite dose-dependent manner but a significant decrease in C. jejuni colonization in the spleen and liver of chickens. The results were reproducible at 3 and 10 days after bacterial infection. This work highlights that E. tenella not only has a direct impact on the health and well-being of chickens but can have secondary effects on important zoonotic pathogens.
