“…Additionally, the present finding was lower than that reported among the European, Indian, Turkish and Taiwanese rabbits in previous studies as the overall prevalence of the coccidial infections in rabbits were 60%, 64%, 80% and 41.7%, respectively (Chandra & Ghosh 1990;Gonzalez-Redondo et al 2008;Karaer 2001;Li et al 2010). Variations in the percentage frequency of occurrence of coccidial infections worldwide are expected and this may be attributed to various factors, including the difference in environmental conditions prevailing in each region, meteorology and agro-ecology.…”

“…Hepatic coccidiosis is most often subclinical, but it can be the cause of poor feed conversion (Al-Mathal, 2008;Pakandl, 2009). All domesticated rabbit breeds can be infected by coccidia, especially the younger animals between one and four months of age (Drouet-Viard et al, 1997a;González-Redondo et al, 2008;Bachene et al, 2014;Bachene et al, 2018). The identification of these coccidia is based on the morphological characteristics of the oocysts and the sporulation time Pakandl et al, 2008).…”

Coccidiosis has an economic impact for poultry and livestock. The current study examined the prevalence of Eimeria infections in domestic rabbits in Medea province, North of Algeria. A total of 414 faecal samples were collected from 50 farms in six regions of the province. Each faecal sample was subjected to oocyst counting and isolation. The Eimeria species from samples containing isolated and sporulated oocysts were morphologically identified microscopically. The overall prevalence of coccidial infections was 47.6% (197/414). Weaners had the highest prevalence (77%, 77/100, p<0.0001), followed by growing rabbits (46.8%, 30/64) and the adult rabbits showed the lowest prevalence (36 %, 18/50). In breeding rabbits, females were more infected with a prevalence of 40% (p<0.0001). Eleven rabbit Eimeria's species were present and identified from oocyst positive samples. Eimeria magna and Eimeria media were the most prevalent species (47.6% and 47.3%). Sulfonamides showed a better protection against rabbit coccidiosis than colistin and trimethoprim association (p< 0.0001, prevalence of 23.3% vs. 65.3% respectively). These results indicated that the prevalence of coccidiosis is high among the rabbit population in Medea province, North of Algeria. As a conclusion, it seems that the epidemiological situation of rabbit coccidiosis in Medea province must be taken into consideration in order to minimize the economic losses caused by this parasitosis.

“…Eimeria stiedae is a pathogenic organism and multiplies in the epithelial cells of bile ducts (Hauptman et al, 2001;Al-Mathal, 2008). Though all age groups of rabbit are susceptible, young ones particularly housed in poor environmental sanitation and poor hygienic practices are more prone to hepatic coccidiosis (Erdogmus and Eroksuz, 2006;Al-Mathal, 2008;Gonzalez-Redondo et al, 2008) and lead to death (Oncel et al, 2011;Papeschi et al, 2013).…”

The present study reports the clinico-pathologic changes observed in spontaneous hepatic coccidiosis caused by Eimeria stiedae in rabbits at Bannerghatta Biological Park (BBP) in Karnataka state of India. The clinical signs observed in the affected rabbits included sudden death, stunted growth, anorexia, weight loss, diarrhoea and abdominal pain. Increased liver enzymes and bilirubin was noticed upon biochemical examination. At necropsy, lesions included grossly enlarged liver (hepatomegaly) with presence of discrete yellowish-white nodules ranging from 1mm to 5mm size throughout the parenchyma containing a thick creamy white fluid. Faecal sample examination demonstrated the presence of Eimeria oocyts. The impression smears from the liver and intestinal mucosa also showed Eimeria oocysts, degenerative changes, necrotic cells and mononuclear cell aggregation to form oocyst granuloma. Histological observation revealed distension of bile duct, hyperplasia of epithelium along with numerous coccidian oocysts at the centre. Granulomatous tissues were observed to have encircled the bile duct with infiltration of inflammatory cells. Microscopic examination of exudates from liver also revealed numerous oocysts of E. stiedae. Multiple areas of coagulative necrosis of hepatic cells surrounded with inflammatory cells were also found.
