| The spread of Histomonas meleagridis infections through groups of turkeys in the absence of the cecal worm vector was studied in a battery cage model. |
| Some animals have overcome this deficiency by consuming the faeces or cecal content containing the microbes using a strategy termed coprophagy or cecotrophy respectively. |
| Ileocecal valve intubation sometimes required cecal retroflexion. |
| The rat study showed cecal effects similar to those seen in the studies with adult animals. |
| The absence of any upper-abdominal pain, nausea, and cramps suggests that the melena is of cecal or right colonic origin. |
| At surgery, 24 patients had perforation, and three required cecal resection. |
