Abstract:Genus Eimeria is a group of obligate Protista parasites within phylum Apicomplexa that causes a major threat to animal production.

This study was undertaken to study experimental infection in domesticated pigeons, its clinical signs, and pathological interpretation due to Eimeria species. Eimeria labbeana-like oocysts were used as a model parasite for experimental infection of pigeons. Twenty pigeons were brought and examined for 7 days to ensure t… Show more
