The article presents the results of monitoring parasitic protozoa young turkeys in industrial-type farms Central region Russia. Fecal samples, scrapings from floor and passages, contents gastrointestinal tract during slaughter were systematically examined birds different ages. age seasonal dynamics their infection with eimeria, as well contamination environmental objects by protozoan oocysts, e...

The hypothesis tested was that exposure of broiler chickens to an electromagnetic field (EMF) may reduce the signs of coccidiosis infection, based on recent insights into immunology. The experiment had a 2 x 2 factorial design. An uninfected and an infected group did not receive further treatment, whereas the other uninfected and infected groups were subjected to EMF treatment. In the cages of ...

Coccidiosis caused by Eimeria species is a major form of intestinal infection affecting intensively and semi-intensively reared goats. The province of Alentejo is the main goat-producing area in Portugal. Therefore, all 15 Serpentina goat farms in Alentejo were analyzed regarding the occurrence and diversity of Eimeria species. Fecal samples obtained from 144 animals (52.1% dairy goats, 47.9% p...

Egress, which describes the mechanism that some intracellular parasites use to exit from parasitophorous vacuoles and host cells, plays a very important role in the parasite life cycle and is central to Eimeria propagation and pathogenesis. Despite the importance of egress in the intracellular parasite's life cycle, very little information is known on this process compared to other steps, e.g.,...

the prevalence of eimeria spp. infection and the intensity of fecal oocysts were determined in 250 sheep in malayer suburb of iran using flotation and sporulation techniques. the overall prevalence was 23.23% in which the young male sheep had the highest prevalence (37.61%) with the highest intensity (63.58%). there were no significant difference in the prevalence between male (27.9%) and femal...

forty-one wild sheep (ovis ammon orintalis) from kabodan island of national park of urmialake (north-west of iran), were examined during a period of six months from october 2002 tomarch 2003, for helminthes and coccidian infection. the numbers of oocyst and eggs per gram offaeces (opg & epg) were determined by the centrifuge flotation technique using saturated sugarsolution. the rate of inf...

There are few reports concerning the epidemiology of Eimeria praecox and Eimeria mitis in Brazil. In the present experiment, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to identify these species in 156 samples of broiler chicken feces from several Brazilian states and the Federal District. Oocysts present in feces samples were purified by sodium chloride flotation followed by addition of DNAzo...

The Attwater's prairie chicken (APC; Tympanuchus cupido attwateri Bendire, 1894) has been a federally listed endangered species since 1967. Several captive propagation programs consisting of small populations are being used to keep this species from extinction. Fecal samples were collected from APCs in April 2007 and again in August 2008 from 2 separate captive propagation facilities in Texas a...

The purpose of the research is to test efficacy different concentrations composite Kenocox against Eimeria spp. oocysts in turkeys a laboratory experiment and under production conditions. Materials methods . anti-Eimeria activity new disinfection agent was tested as compared with phenol two stages. first stage used 2, 4 6% 4% base drug. second bioassay artificial infection young turkeys, conduc...

Avian coccidiosis is the most important parasitic disease in poultry production, which inflicts numerous losses to the industry. The extensive use of anticoccidial drugs leads to parasite resistance and drug residue in poultry products. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effects of three famous essential oils (EOs) and their combination on inactivation of mixed oocysts of Eimeria...
