“…The high prevalence of pig coccidia observed in this study (56.6%; 106/187), corroborates the results found by Sevá et al (2018), in subsistence breeding pigs in the Municipality of Teodoro Sampaio in the State of São Paulo, Brazil, which reported prevalence of coccidial oocysts in 60% of the studied pigs. Similar studies should be included here (Santos & Lopes, 1994) On the other hand, lower prevalence was obtained by Kouam et al (2018), in Bamboutos in the Republic of Cameroon, a region that has a typical climate similar to that in the Semiarid Region of Northeastern Brazil, with two main seasons, dry and rainy, in which 26.9% of pigs had coccidia infections. This lower prevalence was due to a prophylaxis program adopted in 49 of the 50 farms sampled in that study, which consisted of general hygiene, use of pharmaceuticals, and having a veterinarian as swine health officer on most farms; actions that significantly reduced the overall burden of oocysts.…”

There is great diversity in swine coccidia, which are responsible for causing intestinal disorders ranging from sporadic diarrhea to severe cases of hemorrhagic enteritis. Thus, determining the species of coccidia that affect the animals of a region and associating them with the characteristics of the farms become extremely important. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of coccidia parasites in pigs reared in a family farming production system in the Semiarid Region of the State of Paraíba, Northeast Brazil. Fecal samples for analysis were collected from 187 pigs on 51 farms. For morphological analysis, 1,590 sporulated oocysts were used. The prevalence of oocysts in fecal samples was 56.6% (106/187). The most prevalent species were Eimeria suis (21.9%), followed by Eimeria neodebliecki (16.6%), Eimeria perminuta (14.9%), Eimeria polita (12.8%), Eimeria debliecki (10.6%), Eimeria porci (10.1%), Cystoisospora suis (3.7%), Eimeria scabra (1.6%) and Eimeria cerdonis (0.5%). It can be concluded that pigs from the Semiarid Region of the State of Paraíba were parasitized by a diversity of coccidia species, mainly of the genus Eimeria, and predominantly presented with mixed infections occurring in the subclinical form.

“…Fecal samples were individually diluted in a 2.5% aqueous potassium dichromate solution (K 2 Cr 2 O 7 ) and placed in Petri dishes containing 1/6 stool to 5/6 solution and left at room temperature for 15 days for the oocysts sporulation (Santos & Lopes, 1994).…”
