| eimeria coecicola: spleen response of oryctolagus cuniculus. | the apicomplexan protozoon eimeria coecicola is an infectious agent of intestinal coccidiosis in rabbits, causing severe injuries in the appendix as the final target, but also in the liver though not being a target. here, we investigated the effect of e. coecicola on the spleen of the rabbit oryctolagus cuniculus with respect to structure and gene expression using 2-color agilent whole rabbit genome oligo-microarray technology in combination with quantitative pcr. at maximal fecal output of e. c ... | 2013 | 23206958 |
| liver response of rabbits to eimeria coecicola infections. | intestinal coccidiosis of rabbits induced by e. coecicola causes enormous economic losses in rabbit farms. here, we investigate the effect of e. coecicola on the liver of the rabbit oryctolagus cuniculus. on day 7 p.i., fecal expulsion of e. coecicola oocysts is maximal and rabbits have lost approximately 25% of their weight. the liver, though not targeted by parasites, exhibits several signs of moderate inflammations, i.e., inflammatory cellular infiltrations around the central vein, dilatated ... | 2011 | 21822680 |
| coccidiosis of domestic rabbit (oryctolagus cuniculus) in egypt: light microscopic study. | in the present study, the incidence and prevalence of coccidian infection among domestic rabbits in egypt were investigated. severe overall prevalence reaching 70% (70/100) was recorded. eight species of eimeria were detected. mixed infection with three different species occurred most frequently. eimeria intestinalis and eimeria coecicola were generally the most predominant species. the complete life cycle of e. intestinalis was investigated. this study is the first to report coccidia in domesti ... | 2011 | 21647671 |
| eimeria species in wild rabbits (oryctolagus cuniculus) in fars province, iran. | this investigation was accomplished during february to november 2008. a total of 71 wild rabbits (oryctolagus cuniculus) of about 5 to 12 months age were collected alive from different parts of fars province, south of iran. faecal sampling was carried out directly from recti and the oocysts were isolated using sedimentation and floatation techniques and the sporulated oocyst were identified based on morphological and biological characteristics. all the rabbits were apparently healthy and showed ... | 2010 | 21399588 |
| prevalence, infectivity and oocyst sporulation time of rabbit-coccidia in taiwan. | prevalence of eimeria species parasitizing rabbits (oryctolagus cuniculus) in taiwan were investigated. six eimeria species, namely: eimeria media (prevalence, 158/642; 24.6%), eimeria magna (101/642; 15.7%), eimeria perforans (58/642; 9.0%), eimeria coecicola (46/642; 7.2%), eimeria piriformis (16/642; 2.5%), and eimeria exigua (9/642; 1.4%) were observed. the overall prevalence of these coccidial infections in rabbits from pet shops and farms was 46.2% and 41.7%, respectively. concurrent infec ... | 2010 | 21399582 |
| the pathogenicity of rabbit coccidium eimeria coecicola cheissin, 1947. | the pathogenicity of eimeria coecicola for rabbits has been demonstrated in our experiments. the animals suffered from prolonged affection of appendix lasting at least 20 days. pathological changes appeared with the development of merogony since day 4 post infection (dpi) and were characterized by an inflammatory infiltration and abundant pyogenic component in lamina propria, swelling and coalescence of upper parts of appendix mucosa above atrophied domes, where spaces filled with stagnating inf ... | 1989 | 2488044 |
