  1. Each value represents the mean ± SD of three independent antibody administration/infection trials. Within each parameter values with different superscripts are significantly different (p < 0.05) according to Duncan’s multiple range test. The statistical analysis detected significant differences among experimental groups. Birds infected and inoculated with anti-IL17A Ab showed significant lower lesion scores than infected and non-inoculated birds (p < 0.05).
