| redescriptions of eimeria irresidua kessel & jankiewicz, 1931 and e. flavescens marotel & guilhon, 1941 from the domestic rabbit. | eimeria flavescens and e. irresidua from the domestic rabbit are redescribed. the relatively smaller ovoidal oocysts of e. flavescens which measure on average 31.7 x 21.4 micrometer, possess a wide micropyle at the broad end. first-generation schizonts of this species develop deep in the glands of the lower small intestine. merozoites migrate to the caecum and colon where second, third and fourth-generation schizonts develop in the superficial epithelium followed by the fifth-generation schizont ... | 1979 | 537835 |
| effect of subcutaneously administered diclazuril on the output of eimeria species oocysts by experimentally infected rabbits. | the effect of subcutaneously injected diclazuril on the output of eimeria species oocysts was studied in experimentally infected rabbits. diclazuril was administered either prophylactically at 0.5, 1 or 2 mg/kg bodyweight two days before each rabbit was inoculated with 20,000 oocysts of a mixed-species field isolate of eimeria or therapeutically at 1, 2 or 4 mg/kg bodyweight five days after they were inoculated. the prophylactic treatments significantly reduced (p<0.05) the output of oocysts in ... | 2008 | 18245747 |
| 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 |
| the complete mitochondrial genomes of five eimeria species infecting domestic rabbits. | rabbit coccidiosis caused by members of the genus eimeria can cause enormous economic impact worldwide, but the genetics, epidemiology and biology of these parasites remain poorly understood. in the present study, we sequenced and annotated the complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes of five eimeria species that commonly infect the domestic rabbits. the complete mt genomes of eimeria intestinalis, eimeria flavescens, eimeria media, eimeria vejdovskyi and eimeria irresidua were 6261bp, 6258bp, 6168bp ... | 2015 | 26358270 |
