Abstract

VAZQUEZ, María Belén; GENZELIS, Maximiliano; MIJALENKO, Silvia  and  BELTRAMINO, Juan B. Survey of Eimeria spp. in sheep: first notice of Eimeria macusaniensis in the region of Governor Gregores, Santa Cruz, Argentina. Rev Salud Anim. [online]. 2014, vol.36, n.1, pp.62-64. ISSN 0253-570X.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the parasite level by Eimeria spp. in sheep in the region of Governor Gregores, Santa Cruz, Argentina. The herds belonging to the Agricultural School No.1, Governor Gregores and a rancher of the region were sampled. There were not helminth observed eggs in any of the herds tested. At the Agricultural School No.1, Governor Gregores, there was observed a high number (29,430) of oocysts morphologically consistent with Eimeria macusaniensis, coccidia from camels. However, in the local livestock herd, the amount of this coccidia was 20 times less. This is the first report of sheep infestation with that species of protozoa in the studied area.

Keywords : guanaco; sheep; Eimeria macusaniensis.
