“…We found 8 Eimeria and Isospora species which were also found in a study (Cicek et al 2007) carried out on cattle in the Afyon province, where we also performed our study. This shows that the species we found might be cattle-originated.…”

The objective of this study was to identify the coccidian species present in water buffaloes in the vicinity of Afyon. Faecal samples were collected directly from the rectum of a total of 104 water buffaloes, and examined in the laboratory using Sheather's saturated sugar solution. Faecal samples found to contain Eimeria species were mixed with a solution of 2.5% potassium dichromate, left at room temperature in petri dishes until the oocysts sporulated, and then examined in order to identify the species.Eleven different Eimeria species and one Isospora species were identified in 78 (75%) out of the 104 water buffaloes as follows: E. zuernii (55.1%), E. auburnensis (44.9%), E. bovis (44.9%), E. ellipsoidalis (28.2%), E. ankarensis (16.7%), E. subspherica (16.7%), E. alabamensis (11.5%), E. cylindrica (10.3%), E. bareillyi (5.1%), E. canadensis (5.1%), E. brasiliensis (3.8%), and Isospora spp. (46.2%). With this study, species causing coccidiosis in water buffaloes in the province of Afyon were identified for the first time, and Isospora spp. in the water buffalo is reported for the first time.

“…In our study the infection rate was 92.5% in animals younger than 1 year and 64.1% in animals older than 1 year. Infection rates were compatible with the study of Cicek et al (2007) regarding the effect of age on infection rates.…”

“…A negative correlation exists between age of cattle and risk of infection. Younger animals depicted higher prevalence (27.23 %) of coccidial infection than older animals (15.65 %) as reported by Cicek et al (2007). Higher oocysts counts have been observed in immature as compared to adults (Waruiru et al 2000).…”

Clinical coccidiosis in adult cattle

Coccidiosis is caused by the protozoan parasite belongs to the genous Eimeria spp. which parasitizes the epithelium lining of the alimentary tract. Infection damages the lining of the gut causing diarrhoea and possibly dysentery. Coccidiosis is primarily a disease of young animals but can affect older animals that are in poor condition. In a farm, seven adult cattle had foul smell bloody diarrhoea, anorexia, emaciation condition, smudging of the perineum and tail with blood stained dung. Laboratory examinations of the dung samples revealed the presence of coccidian oocysts. Animals were treated with 33.33 % (w/v) sulphadimidine, along with supportive and fluid therapy. After completion of 1 week of therapy all the affected cattle were recovered from the diarrhoea.

“…After sporulation of positive samples in Koutny et al (2012) experiment, 11 Eimeria species were found. Ten different species of Eimeria were identified from the fecal samples of local domestic beef cattle collected from the five localities of Afyon province of Turkey (Cicek et al 2007). In Hungary Eimeria oocysts were found in 33% of calve and seven species were identified.…”

Despite the importance of buffalo farming in Iran, little is known in this country about the abundance and distribution of Eimeria spp. in the animal species. The present study was designed to investigate the prevalence and species characterization of Eimeria oocysts in river buffalo calves of Khuzestan province, southwest of Iran. Of the total 108 fecal samples examined for Eimeria, 108 (100%) were found infected with 11 species of the parasite. Among the identified species of Eimeria, E. bovis was found to be the predominant etiological agent (76.85%), followed in order by E. canadensis (62.96%), E. zuernii (47.2%), E. ellipsoidalis (26.85%), E. subspherica (25.92%), E. brasiliensis (19.4%), E. auburnensis (18.51%), E. alabamensis (14.81%), E. pellita (11.1%), E. illinoisensis (5.5%) and E. bukidnonensis (2.7%). In most calves multiple infections with three species were present. While, 20.7% of calves showed heavy infection, 50.4 and 24.8% of calves showed weak and moderate infection, respectively. There was no significant difference in the OPG values between the calves of different localities. There was also no significant difference between the prevalence rate of infection in males and females. A total of 16.6% of all faecal samples were found to be diarrheic. A highly significant relationship could be identified between the occurrence of diarrhea and the level of E. bovis and E. zuernii oocysts excretion. Considering the pervasive occurrence and negative effects of the infection on the health condition and the growth performance of buffalo calves, infections should receive increased attention by both farmers and veterinarians.
