Aim:To determine the prevalence and diversity of Eimeria spp. in dairy cattle present in and around Guwahati, Kamrup district, Assam, India.Materials and Methods:A total of 2339 fecal samples of calves (535), heifer (641) and adult (1163) cattle were screened for 1 year present in and around Guwahati, Assam for detection of Eimeria oocysts by flotation techniques. Sporulation of the oocyst was done in 2.5% potassium dichromate solution for identification of the Eimeria species.Results:Examination of fecal samples revealed an overall prevalence of 11.97% Eimeria infection in dairy cattle of Guwahati, Assam. Age-wise, 33.2%, 45.4%, and 21.4% infections were recorded in calves (<1 year), heifer (1-3 years) and adult (>3 years) cattle, respectively. Season-wise, infection was recorded highest during post-monsoon (16.29%), followed by monsoon (15%), winter (9.44%), and pre-monsoon (7.49%) season. Seven species of Eimeria were recorded viz. Eimeria bovis, Eimeria zuernii, Eimeria subspherica, Eimeria bukidnonensis, Eimeria auburnensis, Eimeria ellipsoidalis and Eimeria alabamensis. The oocyst count per gram of feces ranged from 50 to 1500 in infected cattle.Conclusion:This study indicates that there is the prevalence of seven species of Eimeria in dairy cattle of Guwahati, Assam and mostly prevalent during the post-monsoon season.

“…2). Pilarczyk et al (25,26) showed that the course of parasitic invasion depends, first of all, on climatic and environmental conditions. The results obtained in our study confirm the observations made by other authors (3,4,10,11,24,25).…”

“…Of many factors causing diseases, parasites deserve a particular attention. Parasitoses are the most common illness of ruminants (1, 3, 10, 11, 13, 18, 22, 23, [25][26][27]. They cause large losses resulting mainly from the reduction in animal condition, productivity, and resistance to diseases.…”

“…Because parasitic diseases most often follow a subclinical course, they very often escape the attention of both breeders and veterinarians (4,8,15,27). Protozoa of the genus Eimeria, gastro-intestinal nematodes, and flukes are the most common parasites in ruminants (1,3,10,11,16,24,26,27). Older animals, which are the symptomless carriers of parasites, may be the source of invasion.…”

Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Parasites of Water Buffaloes Raised in the Notecka Forest Region (Poland)

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of infection with gastrointestinal parasites in water buffaloes raised in the Notecka Forest region in the Wielkopolska Province (Poland). Coproscopic examinations were performed between January and June 2009. The mean prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in the water buffalo herd was 44%. Gastrointestinal nematodes (10%) and flukes (Fasciola hepatica - 32% and Paramphistomum cervi - 11%) were found in the examined animals. The high prevalence of infection with gastrointestinal parasites was caused by the lack of an appropriate helminth control programme. Despite the fact that they are raised on marshy meadows, where good conditions for parasites’ development exist, these animals were not systematically dewormed. It is necessary to devise a helminth control programme for the studied water buffalo herd.

“…Research performed in other countries has revealed prevalence rates of Eimeria spp. varying from 17.9% to 93% in Poland (Pilarczyk et al 2000;Klockiewicz et al 2007;Pilarczyk et al 2009), 33% in Hungary (Farkas et al 2007), 22.6% and 33.3% in Brazil (Almeida et al 2011;Poscoti-Bruhn et al 2011), 35% to 47.1% in China (Yu et al 2011;Dong et al 2012), 50% in Pakistan (Nisar-Khan et al 2013), 22.7% and 68% in Ethiopia (Abebe et al 2008;Dawid et al 2012), 20%, 68% and 75% in Turkey (Arslan and Tuzer 1998;Cicek et al 2007;Nalbantoglu et al 2008), 29%, 50% and 52% in South Africa (Matjila and Penzhorn 2002), and 35% in Tanzania (Chibunda et al 1997). The rate was reported to be 21.3% and 18% to 50% in the Kurdistan and East-Azerbaijan provinces of Iran (Yakhchali and Gholami 2008;Yakhchali and Zarei 2008;Davoudi et al 2011).…”

Information on the occurrence, diversity and economic losses due to Eimeria infection on cattle farms is lacking in Western Iran. The principal aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and diversity of Eimeria species in cattle in Hamedan province, Western Iran. In a cross-sectional study performed from June 2010 to April 2013, 400 faecal samples were collected randomly from animals without clinical signs from different cattle farms of Hamedan province and examined for Eimeria species infection using parasitology methods. The overall infection rate of Eimeria species was 8.25%. Nine species of Eimeria were identified including: E. bovis (23.7%), E. zuernii (19.2%), E. canadensis (12.6%), E. ellipsodalis (11.4%), E. alabamensis (10.4%), E. pellita (9.1%), E. auburnensis (6.8%), E. cylindrica (4.6%) and E. bukidnonensis (2.3%). There were statistically significant differences with respect to Eimeria infection and age group (P < 0.0001, OR = 6), although no statistically significant relationships were found for sex (P = 0.35) or faecal consistency (P = 0.587). In conclusion, this study is the first to report the prevalence and diversity of Eimeria species in cattle in Hamedan province. Infection with pathogenic Eimeria spp. was asymptomatic in all animals; this is the reason for the transmission of infection by carriers in this region. Therefore, integrated strategies should be utilised to prevent and control Eimeria spp. infection on cattle farms.
