Eimeria media is a principal pathogen responsible for rabbit coccidiosis, targeting the rabbit's intestinal epithelial cells. This parasitism damages the intestinal mucosal barrier, initiating a systemic immune and in ammatory response that jeopardizes the sustainable growth of rabbit farming. To understand the implications of infection on the host's immune and metabolic responses, we employed RNA-Seq to analyze RNA from the liver and duodenum tissues of post-infected rabbits infected with both the precocious line and wild-type strains of Eimeria media. Comprehensive transcriptomic analysis revealed that the two strains exhibit divergent transcriptomic imprints on host tissues. While the precocious line predominantly modulates immune-centric pathways with signi cant differential gene enrichment, wildtype strains favor pathways that affect metabolism. In addition, our study pinpointed a set of genes that undergo signi cant modi cations in response to these effects. These revelations grant a fresh avenue to probe deeper into the symbiotic intricacies of the Eimeria media and its rabbit hosts.

“…Coccidiosis is a major global concern in rabbit farms, affecting rabbit growth performance and feed consumption it also causing significant morbidity and mortality (Abdel Megeed et al 2005;Khater et al 2020). Natural rabbit coccidiosis infection reached 70% in Egyptian rabbit herds (El-Shahawi et al 2012), and it is accompanied by two forms: hepatic, caused by E. stiedae, the most prevalent species to infect rabbits and cause death (Al-Rukibat et al 2001;Bochyńska et al 2022), and intestinal, which is caused by other Eimeria species (Çam et al 2008;Rabie et al 2022). Clinical signs of hepatic illness include lethargy, constipation or diarrhea, decreased food intake, ascites, enlarged liver, icterus, an enlarged abdomen, and ultimately death (Karaer 2001;AbouLaila et al 2020).…”

The current study aimed to assess the protective role of Morus Macroura (Mulberries), Lepidium Sativum (Garden Cress Seeds) against E. stiedae in experimentally infected rabbits. Fifty rabbits were randomly divided into five groups: G1 and G2 rabbits were supplemented with M. Macroura and L. sativum; respectively with a daily dose of 300mg/kg BW which began one week before infection and continued daily till the end of the experiment. G3 was administered diclazuril (1ppm) for only one week before infection; G4 was kept as infected-non-treated (CP) and G5 was kept as untreated-uninfected (CN). On 7 th day of the experiment, all groups except G5 were orally infected with 10 4 sporulated oocysts of E. stiedae using a stomach tube. The following up of the clinical symptoms, weight, fecal oocysts count, hematological and biochemical parameters (liver, and kidney function) were done for each rabbit throughout the experiment, in addition the lesion score was done after PM examination and histopathology of the liver. The results revealed a significant improvement in clinical signs in botanical plant and diclazuril treated groups, with an improvement in body weight, a highly significant reduction in oocysts shedding with a significant improvement of CBC and liver and kidney enzymes compared to CP group. In conclusion, both M. Macroura and L. Sativum could equally compete with the chemical drug (Diclazuril) in their anti-coccidial effect on E. stiedae and can be used as a safe useful alternative remedy to control rabbit coccidiosis.
