“…In addition, Mahdi and Al-Rubaie (2013) and Saikia et al (2017) observed a significant reduction in the body weight of birds affected with Eimeria infection, which agreed with our findings. This loss might be due to the consumption of the parasitic Eimeria stages to the nutrients inside the epithelial cells of the duodenum and lead to severe alterations (Mahdii and Al-Rubaie, 2013). The description of the endogenous stages is a species-specific character in the genus Eimeria, and the recovered ones were nearly identical to those reported in Varghese (1977).…”

“…Samples were cleared in xylene and embedded in paraffin wax. Serial 5 m thick sections were cut, followed by deparaffinization and staining with routine hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) method, following the standard procedure of Luna (1968). Dommels et al (2007) scored stained sections of the duodenum for inflammatory lesions, as evidenced by infiltrations of mononuclear cells, neutrophils, eosinophils, and plasma cells, as well as tissue destruction and healing.…”

Genus Eimeria is a group of obligate Protista parasites within phylum Apicomplexa that causes a major threat to animal production. Little information is available about the coccidia of pigeons. 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 they were coccidia-free. Five pigeons were separated into parasite passage. The remaining pigeons were divided into a control group of five pigeons, and ten pigeons were infected with 3×104 E. labbeana-like oocysts. Infected pigeons showed ruffled feathers, greenish watery diarrhea, weakness, blood-tinged droppings, etc. Pre-patent and patent durations were five and fourteen days of oral inoculation of Eimeria. Oocysts shedding began on the 5th-day p.i. and peaked on the 8th-day p.i. There is a significant loss in body weight due to infection. Histopathological examination showed damage to intestinal mucosa with various Eimeria developmental stages in the duodenal of the small intestine. This study is considered basic information on the first detection of biology of Eimeria species infecting pigeons in Saudi Arabia.

“…An ectoparasite is an organism that lives on the outer surface of its host and causes harm to it. The word “ektoparasite” is taken from the Greek word “ektos”, which means outside and “parasitos”, which means parasite [ 79 ]. These Ectoparasites include fleas, ticks, mites, mites, fleas, mosquitoes, blowflies, and blackflies.…”

Parasitic infections are a major public health concern affecting millions of people universally. This review elaborates on the potential impacts of plants and their bioactive components that have been widely used in the cure of several parasitic infections of poultry. The medicinal importance of natural herbs depends upon their bioactive ingredients, which are originated from crude plants, consequently leading to the specific action on the body. Due to the limited availability of effective drugs and high cost, the development of drug resistance in several harmful parasites and microbes leads to huge economic losses in the poultry industry. This will impose the development of innovative sources for drugs to overwhelm the therapeutic failure. Moreover, the environment-friendly feed additives which can be applied as a substitute to antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) for broilers were proven. The application of natural products with therapeutic characteristics is an ancient practice that is appropriately gaining more acceptance. Globally, it is assessed that some 20,000 species of higher plants are used medicinally, although traditional medicine has a scarcity of knowledge on its efficiency and wellbeing. This review explores the usage of medicinal herbs for parasitic infections, emphasizing the recent knowledge available while detecting the research gaps which may be explored to find the usage of herbal medicines for parasitic infections in poultry. In conclusion, herbal medicines are the effective source of prime components for drug detection and the formation of phytopharmaceuticals in the control of devastating parasitic infections. There is a prerequisite to applying the traditional medicine information in clinical applications via value addition.

“…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).…”

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.
