A commercial dog breeding unit experienced problems with acute diarrhoea, often haemorrhagic, in young German Shepherd Dog litters. No aetiologic diagnosis had been made. In order to determine whether coccidial infections were implicated,... more
Hemograms and acute-phase proteins in adult male New Zealand White rabbits that had been experimentally infected orally with sporulated oocysts of Eimeria stiedai were evaluated over a 28-day period. Fifty animals were used, divided into... more
Five different species of Eimeria viz. E. acervulina, E. maxima, E. necatrix, E. tenella and E. brunetti were identified. The highest percentage (50%) was found with mixed infection. Specieswise infection with E. tenella was recorded in... more
Bovine besnoitiosis, caused by the apicomplexan parasite Besnoitia besnoiti is considered an emergent disease in Europe. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and geographic distribution of B. besnoiti in cattle herds in... more
In this clinical case report, winter coccidiosis was aimed to present in a six months old calf. The material of this case was one of the diarrheic calves brought to the Clinic of Internal Medicine unit of Veterinary Faculty of Kafkas... more
For the assessment of coccidial oocyst production by chickens, some modified form of the McMaster counting method is commonly used. The objective of this study was to evaluate a standard method and to compare it to a new, faster method,... more
Coccidiosis is the most predominant parasitic disease affecting Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) in commercial farms. Coccidiosis as a subclinical infection is difficult to diagnose without parasitological examinations.... more
The influence of the major histocompatibility (B) complex on acquired immunity to the avian coccidium Eimeria tenella was studied in 217 F4 segregants (B 2B 2, B 2B 5, B 5B 5) of a cross between inbred lines 61 (B 2B 2) and 151 (B 5B 5)... more
The aim of this study was to investigate, under conditions similar to commercial broiler production, the effect of the herbal extract blend (HE) at a quantity of 1g per kg feed (200 mg respectively of herbal extract, Allium sativum,... more
Mice recovering from a primary infection with an intestinal protozoan parasite, Eimeria falciformis (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae), showed a classic delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) reaction to oocyst antigen challenge. This reaction was... more
Isospora suis ist ein einzelliger Parasit des Schweins und der Erreger der Saugferkelkokzidiose. Diese Erkrankung zeigt eine hohe Morbidität in betroffenen Ferkelzuchtbetrieben und ist damit ein wichtiger wirtschaftlicher Faktor in der... more
Polyclonal anti-idiotype 1073 (anti-Id 1073), raised against a monoclonal antibody specific for the protective epitope(s) of Eimeria tenella sporozoites, induced cell-mediated immune (CMI) responses in bursectomized chickens. Whereas... more
There has been growing interest in the development of natural methods of coccidiosis prophylaxis. Vaccination against coccidiosis with live oocysts is regarded as effective in the control of avian coccidiosis, but in some conditions, such... more
The aim of the experiment was to evaluate the anticoccidial efficacy of supplementing feeds with herbal extract blend containing garlic (Allium sativum), sage (Salvia officinalis), echinacea (Echinacea purpurea), thyme (Thymus vulgaris)... more
Sera obtained from pampas-deer (Ozotoceros bezoarticus) captured in two different Brazilian environments were analyzed for the presence of anti-Neospora caninum antibodies by the indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT). Samples were... more
The effectiveness of diatomaceous earth (DE) as a treatment against parasites and to increase feed efficiency and egg production of organically raised free-range layer hens was evaluated in 2 breeds of commercial egg layers [Bovan Brown... more
