The apicomplexan protozoans Eimeria spp. cause coccidioses, the most common intestinal diseases in chickens. Coccidiosis is associated with significant animal welfare issues and has a high economic impact on the poultry industry. Lack of a full understanding of immunogenic molecules and their precise functions involved in the Eimeria life cycles may limit development of effective vaccines and d...

AIM This study was conducted to know the epidemiology of gastrointestinal parasites of free-ranging wild herbivores and adjoining livestock of Panna Tiger Reserve, Madhya Pradesh, India. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 374 fecal samples from wild herbivores (Chital Axis axis - 123, Sambar Rusa unicolor - 94, Nilgai Boselaphus tragocamelus - 86, and Chinkara Gazella bennettii - 71) and 284 fe...

background: coccidiosis of domestic fowl, caused by species of the genus eimeria , is responsi­ble for important economic losses in poultry production. because different species and/or strains can vary in pathogenicity and other biological parameters, their precise characteriza­tion is important for epizootiological studies. methods: fifty samples from litter, whole intestinal tract and feces w...

Six new species of coccidia are described from endangered Phelsuma spp. geckoes (Sauria: Gekkonidae) endemic to Mauritius, Indian Ocean. Five new species (3 Eimeria and 2 Isospora species) are described from Phelsuma rosagularis Vinson et Vinson; all lack a micropyle and an oocyst residuum, and all have a sporocyst residuum. Oocysts of Eimeria swinnertonae sp. n. are ellipsoidal, 22.2 x 17.8 (2...

Endoparasitic diseases cause great economic losses, mainly due to the anemias they can cause. This research evaluated occurrence of gastrointestinal parasites in meat-type sheep six small gaucho properties. Fecal samples were received at Helminthology Laboratory Faculty Veterinary, UFRGS, Porto Alegre, RS, and processed by methods Gordon & Whitlock (OPG) Roberts O’Sullivan (coproculture). T...
