Many investigators believed for many years that Eimeria arloingi occurred in both sheep and goats and was the most common coccidium of these animals (DAVIES et al., 1963;PELLERDY, 1974). LEVINE and IVENCE (1970) reviewed the information on E. arloingi of sheep and goats and concluded that the forms in these two hosts are not the same species and named the form in sheep Eimeria owina and the form in goats Eimeria arloingi. KRYLOV (1961), TSYGANKOVE et al. (1963) and LOTZE et al. (1964 attempted to transmit E. owina from sheep to goats and E. arloingi from goat to sheep, but failed to produce clearcut infection. O n the other hand LOTZE et al. (1964) claimed that the schizonts had developed in the mesenteric lymph nodes of both sheep and goats inoculated with the sporulated oocysts of E. owina. DEIANA and DELITALA (1953) found that the lambs inoculated with the oocysts of E. arloingi discharged oocysts in their faeces. LEVINE et al. (1962), SINGH and PANDE and SAYIN (1965) found schizonts and gamonts in the small intestine of kids and assumed that they belonged to E. arloingi but they were in fact dealing with a mixed infection. GILL and KATIYAR (1961), SHARMA DEORANI (1966) and SAYIN (1965) described an outbreak of enteritis associated with lesions in the * 383 small intestine of naturally infected kids which they considered due to E. arloingi. DEIANA and DELITALA (1953) and PANDE et al. (1967) reported histclogical changes in lesions of the small intestine of naturally infected kids and considered them to be due to E. arloingi. In these cases it is uncertain whether the lesions were caused by E. arloingi or by another coccidium. All these data indicated that the endogenous phase of the life-cycle and the pathogenicity of E. arloingi are uncertain. This study was therefore undertaken to provide more evidence upon the life-cycle and pathogenicity of E. arloingi and its relationship with E. ovina.
Material and MethodsA total of 42 parasite-free animals, 28 Angora kids and 14 Merino lambs, 1 week or less in age, were obtained during the spring of 1976 and 1977. They were kept in individual pens throughout the experiment. Each pen had a concrete floor, covered with straw which was replaced twice weekly. The animals were fed cow's milk and had daily access to dry alfalfa, mixed grain and water. When the animals were 6 weeks old they were inoculated.

Summary:A yeading Holstein heifer dying of acute septicaemia was necropsied and examined histologically and bacteriologically. Spleen, lymph nodes and smail intcstines demonstraıed hemorrhagic and necrotic inflammations. Necrotic hepatitis, subacute glomeruloncphriıis, fibrinous and necroıic bronchopneumonia, pulmonary actinomycotic granuloma, degencrativc and nccrotic myocardiıis and myocardial sarcosporidiosis was the main changcs detccıable by gross and microscopical examinations. Bacteriological studies revealcd a Bcta-hcmolyıic strain of B. anthracis (from: blood, spleen, liver and lymph nodes), E.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
