Abstract

A survey on enteric coccidia was carried out among goats in Egypt Eimeria and cryptosporidium spp. oocysts were detected in 604 (91.5%) and 14 (2.12%) out of 660 examined faccal samples collected from different localities in Egypt, respectively. Age and season were found to affect the incidence and intensity of infection. As kids are found to be more susceptible to infection than adult goats, the highest rate of infection was more remarkable during summer. In the present study, nine species of Eimeria were identified. The detected species were E. arloingi (92.7%),  E, altijevi (66.22 %). E. ninakohlyakimovae (59.6%), E. hirci (49.7%), E. christenseni(38.08%), E. jolchijevi (9.93%), E. Capring (14.90%), E. caprovina (9.93%) and E. apsheronica (5.97%). All positive cases were found to have more than one species of Eimeria  (93.37% of cases). Also, in the same Study, Cryptosporidium species was identified as C. parvum. The importance of infection with Cryptosporidium parvum has been discussed from the Zoonotic point of view.
