Abstract

Coccidiosis is one of the most economical diseases of sheep and goat production industry in the world. But, the information about this disease is scanty in Kuwait. This study gave data about Eimeria species and their prevalence on small ruminant farms. Fecal samples from 79 sheep and 65 goats were collected and examined by floatation method for Eimeria infection. The positive samples were put in Potassium dichromate (2.5%) for oocysts sporulation, identified by the morphological characteristics. The results revealed that goats had significantly (p=0.00) infection rate (78%) with Eimeria spp. than sheep (68%). Also, the Eimeria prevalence in young animals < 12 months was significantly higher than that in older one (59.2%). All examined animals had multispecies infection. The most prevailing in sheep were E. ovinoidalis (45.6%), E. faurei (39.2%) and E. bakuensis (31.6%), whereas E. arloingi , (61.7%), E. caprovina (58.5%), E. ninakohlyakimovae (53.8%) and E. christenseni (46.2%) were the species detected in goats. No clinical signs were observed in infected animals. In Kuwait, Coccidiosis is probably subclinical, and its economic impact is overlooked.

科威特小反刍动物的艾美耳球虫感染

球虫病是世界上绵羊和山羊生产工业中最经济的疾病之一。但是，关于这种疾病的信息在科威特很少。本研究提供了艾美球虫种类及其在小型反刍动物养殖场的流行情况的数据。采集79只绵羊和65只山羊粪便标本，采用浮法检测艾美耳球虫感染情况。阳性标本置于重铬酸钾(2.5%)中进行卵囊产孢，根据形态特征进行鉴定。结果表明，山羊的艾美耳球虫感染率(78%)显著高于绵羊(68%)(p=0.00)。此外，< 12月龄幼龄动物的艾美耳虫患病率(59.2%)显著高于老年动物。所有被检查的动物都有多物种感染。在绵羊中检出最多的是羊绒易卜拉欣(45.6%)、山羊易卜拉欣(39.2%)和巴库易卜拉欣(31.6%)，在山羊中检出最多的是阿罗宁易卜拉欣(61.7%)、牛毛易卜拉欣(58.5%)、尼纳柯利易卜拉欣(53.8%)和克里氏易卜拉欣(46.2%)。感染动物未见临床症状。在科威特，球虫病可能是亚临床的，其经济影响被忽视。
