Diversity and prevalence of Eimeria species in goats of Nepal

This study aimed to determine the prevalence of Eimeria and identify its different species in adult goats brought Kathmandu valley, Nepal, for commercial meat purposes. spp. were present 916 samples out 991 examined (92.4%). A total 15 morphologic forms detected, with rates as follows: E. ninakohlyakimovae (83.0%), alijevi (75.2%), capralis masseyensis (67.2%), hirci larger form (63.2%), tunisiensis (47.3%), charlestoni (33.0%), jolchejevi (32.4%), arloingi caprina (19.3%), aspheronica (16.5%), smaller (13.5%), christenseni (9.4%), caprovina (8.1%). The current data support fact that are predominant populations. Therefore, coprologic diagnosis anticoccidial treatments should be implemented these populations before their transport new sites avoid transmission.
