  • Sporozoite of Eimeria tenella inoculated into the allantoic cavities of embryonating eggs completed their life-cycle in the chorioallantoic membranes (CAM ) and produced viable oocysts. And the strain continued to adapt to the CAM through the period of the passages. In embryos, the reproduction of the strain, judged by oocyst production increased, but the pathogenicity, judged by mortality of embryo decreased, with increasing numbers of passage in eggs.

  • The purpose of this study was to survey on infection status of pathogens of diarrhea from Korean indigenous goat. A total of 800 fecal samples was collected from 50 farms from January to November 2016 and was tested by automatic biochemical machine and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The overall infection rates of parasitic, bacterial and viral pathogens was 13.0%, 23.0%, 11.3% and the rates of coccidia, Escherichia coli (E. coli), bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), rotavirus and coronavirus were 13.0%, 23.0%, 5.3%, 8.8% and 2.6%, respectively. In the rates of mixed detection, single was 29.8%, double 5.1%, triple 2.8%, quadruple 1.1% in each sample, respectively.

  • Fecal samples from 12 Pipistrellus kuhlii captured at Shagrah, Saudi Arabia, were examined for coccidia and three (25%) found to harbor a undescribed eimerian, herein described as Eimeria pipistrellus n. sp. Sporulated oocysts were sub spherical. $24.8{\times}23.2{\;}(22-27{\times}20-25){\;}\mu\textrm{m}$, with a bilayered and smooth wall. The micropyle was absent, but a large oocyst residuum and a single polar granule were present. Sporocysts were ovoid, 11.6{\times}8.3 (10.5-13{\times}7.5-9) Jim, with a prominent Stieda body, but without a substiedal body; sporozoites lay head to tail in sporocysts and contained one large posterior refractile body. Eimeria pipistrellus n. sp. is the 3rd species of the genus Eimeria found from bats of the genus Pipistrellus.

  • 최근 우리나라 소 사육농가에서 육성 및 자우에서 빈번하게 일어나는 세균성 및 바이러스성 설사병은 익히 알려져 있어 주의 깊게 관찰되어 치료와 예방을 잘하고 있으나, 정작 원충성인 콕시듐 설사병에 대해서는 간과하기 십상이다. 따라서 우리 대동물 임상수의사들도 특히 우상바닥 재료로 왕겨를 사용하는 농가들에 대해 관심깊게 봐두어 짚고 넘어가야 하지 않으면 아니되는 질병인 콕시듐증에 대해 정리하여 소개하고자 한다. 소 콕시듐병은 주로 포유기나 이유직후의 어린 소에서 발생하며, 포자층(Sporozoa)류에 속하는 Coccidia 원충(Potozoa)인 아이메리아(Eimeria) 및 Isospora속의 원충에 기인한 접촉성장염으로 장점막의 상피세포 파괴로 인한 급성출혈성 설사, 빈혈을 주 증상으로 하는 질병이며, 만성으로 될 경우는 성장지연과 생산성의 저하를 나타낸다.

  • The oocyst wall is severed by means of mechanical injury or chemical agents. This study reports the percentage of in vitro sporocyst release following mechanical shaking in the presence of varying sizes of glass beads. Glass beads measured 0.5, 1, and 3 mm in diameter and were shaken with the oocysts for different times ranging from 5 sec to 5 min. Approximately 80% of sporocysts were released with 5 min of shaking in the presence of 3 mm glass beads, as well as 30 sec with 0.5 mm beads and 1 mm glass beads. The release of sporocysts of E. tenella was most efficient using 1 mm glass beads and treatment times of 30 sec to 1 min. Therefore, the use of 1 mm glass beads with 30 sec to 1 min of agitation is recommended in order to maximize sporocyst release and recovery and to improve the yield of viable sporozoites for use in biochemical, tissue culture, and immunological applications of coccidia.

  • Observations were made on the infection rate of common internal parasites in dogs in Kwangju area from January to March, 1982. Dog's stools were collected from veterinary hospitals, houses, intensive dog-rearing places and sidewalks. On the basis of egg counting, the following results were obtained; 1. Of 464 fecal samples, 73.5% were appeared as positive. 2. Dogs from veterinary hospitals and intensive dog-rearing places have higher infection rates than others. 3. Of the parasites detected, Toxocara canis was the most commonly encountered (23.7%). 4. Ascarids, flukes and coccidia were more prevalent in pups than in mature dogs, whereas bookworms were detected less often in young dogs than in older ones. 5. There were significant (p<0.01) differences among age categories for all parasites except tapeworms.

  • Fecal samples from beef and dairy calves less than 12-month-old of Chonnam area were examined for coccidial oocysts. The percentages of cattle and coccidian species found were: Eimeria alabamensis. 9.4; E. auburnensis, 12.5; E. bovis, 29.9; E. brasiliensis, 1.5; E. bukidnonensis, 2.1; E. canadensis, 10.4; E. cylindrica, 7.5; E. ellipsoidalis, 11.5; E. pellita, 1.7; E. subspherica, 10.4; E. wyomingensis, 2.9; and E. zuernii, 22.5. Fifty five percent of the fecal samples from 521 calves were positive for oocysts, and clinical coccidiosis was not found in any of these calves. The number of species in positive samples ranged from 1 to 7.

  • This study was performed to survey on the prevalence of swine internal parasites at 12 piggeries being operated by the sawdust fermentative pigsty in Kyongnam central area. To investigate the effects of viability of eggs, larva and cysts, temperatures at the underlayer of the sawdust floor and rooms of pens were taken four times each season for one year. In a pig farms which have been operated by the sawdust fermentative pigsty, eggs of Ascar is suum(8.8%), Trichr is suis(18.3%), Oesophagostomum sp(9.4%), Strongyloides ransomi(1.3%), Hyostrongylus sp(3.8%) and Metastronylus apri(2.3%) were detected from 480 heads of Pigs. Cysts and oocysts of Coccidia(12.7%), Balantidium coli(5.4%) were also detected form 480 heads of pigs. The change of the temperature in the pig room was variable between $13^{\circ}C\; to\; 27^{\circ}C$ accord-ing to outside condition, whereas that in underfloor was consistently stable between $28^{\circ}C \;to\; 31^{\circ}C$ which was strictly suitable for the development of eggs, larva and cysts.
