  1. Annotation: a Number with lesions of the three chickens examined. The severity of microscopic lesions on the organs of the infected ducks were scored from 0 to 4 as follows: 0, normal; 1, the range of the lesions (cell degeneration, necrosis, hemorrhage, inflammatory cell infiltration, etc.) was less than 10%; 2, the range of the lesions was between 10 and 30%; 3, the range was between 30 and 50%; 4, the range was more than 50%. * p < 0.05
