“…In the present investigation, 17.83% overall prevalence of eimeriosis was documented which was somewhat comparable with the previous reports of authors mentioned in references [ 34 , 51 – 53 ] and [ 54 ], who reported 18.5% in Sekela district, 21.1% in and around Gondar area, 22.7% in Dire Dawa, 24.4% in Haramaya, and 22.9% Wolaita Sodo town, respectively. Conversely, it was lower than the previous reports of [ 55 – 59 ] and [ 60 ] who reported an eimeriosis prevalence of 39.7% in Veracruz, México; 32.17% in Punjab, India; 57.2% in Ravi River region, Lahore, Pakistan; 62.5% in Asella Oromia state, Ethiopia; 31.9% in Kombolcha Oromia state, Ethiopia; and 68.1% from Debre Zeit and Addis Ababa, respectively. This disparity in the prevalence of bovine eimeriosis in different regions is likely due to differences in agroecology, study season, and husbandry practices [ 15 , 51 ].…”

Background. Eimeriosis, which is caused by several Eimeria species, is a protozoan disease affecting the cattle worldwide. The current investigation was aimed at ascertaining the prevalence of bovine eimeriosis, evaluation of the involved risk variables, and identification of the several Eimeria species that were prevalent in the Kacha Bira district of central Ethiopia. Methods. A cross-sectional coprological assessment of Bovine coccidiosis and its associated risk factors through a simple random sampling technique was conducted from January 2021 to December 2022. Results. The cumulative prevalence of coccidia was 17.83% (82/460) in the current investigation, with Eimeria bovis, Eimeria zuernii, and mixed infections having a respective prevalence of 7.83%, 3.25%, and 6.74%. From the anticipated risk factors, cattle age and months of the year have revealed a statistically significant (p<0.05) association with the prevalence of eimeriosis in the cattle under investigation. However, there were no statistically significant (p>0.05) relationships between the coccidia infection and the sex and breed of cattle and the season. Conclusion. During the study, a high prevalence rate of bovine eimeriosis was recorded. Thus, a further detailed study involving molecular techniques to identify prevailing Eimeria species is paramount to develop and put into effect evidence-based control strategies to tackle the prevalence and subsequent effect of eimeriosis.

“…On the contrary, another authors [ 5 , 12 , 65 ] documented that E. zuernii and E. bovis were the most pathogenic and mainly associated with clinical coccidiosis in cattle. On the other hand, the authors in reference [ 59 ] reported that Eimeria canadensis was the most prevalent species of coccidia in Veracruz, México.…”

“…Although previous studies found that immunoglobulins obtained from the colostrum were insufficient to prevent coccidiosis caused by Eimeria sp. (Faber et al, 2002;Olivares-Muñoz et al, 2022), the infection rate among Mafriwal calves of less than 1-year-old in this study was lesser than the yearlings.…”

Mafriwal cattle have good characteristics, but parasitism effects on their production have never been explored. This study aimed to determine the relationship between phenotypic markers of parasitism, namely packed cell volume (PCV), peripheral eosinophils count (PEC), nematode eggs (EPG), and coccidia oocyst (OPG) with the milk yield and body weight of Mafriwal cattle. Fecal and blood samples were collected from 242 cattle between 2021 and 2022. PCV and PEC were obtained from blood samples, while EPG and OPG were obtained from fecal samples. PCR was conducted to identify haemoparasite species. Milk yield data and the body weight of calves were also recorded. Spearman’s rank correlation showed that body weight has a negative correlation with PCV (r=-0.4; P<0.01) and a positive correlation with PEC (r=0.39; P<0.01) in 2022. Multiple linear regression models were used to determine the effect of phenotypic markers and year of sampling on milk yield and body weight. The best models were selected based on the lowest Akaike Information Criterion. Milk yield decreased significantly (P<0.001) from 2021 to 2022. An increase in PEC led to a significant reduction (P<0.001) in milk yield. Conversely, body weight increased significantly (P<0.001) from 2021 to 2022 and an increase in PCV caused a significant (P<0.001) reduction in body weight. Elevated EPG and OPG led to significant (P<0.01) reductions in body weight but the interaction between EPG and OPG has a significant positive (P<0.001) impact on body weight. Overall, the findings suggest that milk yield and body weight of Mafriwal cattle were significantly affected by parasitism thus necessitating the implementation of parasite control approaches.

“…EM infection occurs more frequently in young animals than in older animals [ 25 ]. Several factors, such as season, climate, and farm sanitation, can also influence the prevalence rate [ 26 ]. The fact that these bulls are mostly raised in individual stalls without grouping may contribute to a lower incidence of EM.…”

Background and Aim: Indigenous beef cattle engaged in bullfighting in Southern Thailand represent a distinctive and valuable breed. Gastrointestinal (GI) parasites, which are recognized as important pathogens, have a negative impact on the overall health and physical performance of these fighting bulls. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of GI parasitic infections and identify factors associated with these infections in a fighting bull population in Southern Thailand. Materials and Methods: Fecal samples (n = 4,244) from fighting bulls were submitted to the Laboratory and Diagnostic Centre of the Teaching Animal Hospital, Faculty of Veterinary Science, Rajamangala University of Technology Srivijaya. We examined the samples using simple flotation and centrifugal sedimentation methods. Individual animal profiles and demographic data were collected. Results: The overall prevalence of GI parasitic infections was 93.2%. Nine GI parasites were identified as Paramphistome spp. [PP]. being the most prevalent (93.2%), and the highest annual prevalence occurred in 2019 (97.9%). The infection rates of various parasite species were significantly related to the years of study, geographic area, season, and age group (p < 0.05). The prevalence of parasitic infection was higher on the west coast (98.6%) than on the east coast (98.0%). PP, Eurytrema spp., Strongyles spp., and Buxtonella spp. infections differed significantly among the seven provinces of Southern Thailand (p < 0.05). The prevalence of GI parasitic infections was higher during the rainy season (98.5%) than during the summer (97.7%). Bulls aged 7.0–7.9 years and 8.0–8.9 years had the highest parasite infection rate (99.2%) compared with those aged 8.0–8.9. Conclusion: GI parasitic infections continue to be a significant health concern among fighting bulls in Southern Thailand. Regular epidemiological investigations are crucial for developing effective preventive programs and control strategies and providing basic knowledge for bull farmers.
