Morphometric identification of sporulated Eimeria oocysts isolated from faeces of Red Sokoto goat breed was conducted between August 2003 and August 2004 in Sokoto Nigeria. Ten Eimeria species were identified from 52 samples of 25 adults 1 yearand 25 young 1 year and both sexes of the goats. The Eimeria species encountered with their overall prevalences in decreasing frequency included Eimeria arloingi96.2 E. ninakohlyakimovae 94.2 E. hirci 90.4 E. alijevi 84.6 E.christenseni 67.3 E. caprina I E. caprovina 63.5 E. joichijevi and E.apsheronica 15.4 each and E. minasensis 11.5. Infected goats had minimum of 3 species among adults 4 species among young and a maximum of 9 species in both age groups. E. christenseni and E. jolchijevi were more common prevalent in kids than in adult goats. E. hirci E. caprina E. caprovina and E. minasensis are reported for the first time in Nigerian goats. There were no significant differences in prevalence p0.05 between the age groups and the identified Eimeria species. Since multiple infection with pathogenic species infecting goats including Eimeria arloingi E. ninakohlyakimovae E. christenseni E. caprina E. caprovina where encountered and highly prevalent in the study area it was concluded that the Red Sokoto goats were at risk of developing clinical disease under suitable conditions.

Abstract

Morphometric identification of sporulated Eimeria oocysts isolated from faeces of Red Sokoto goat breed was conducted between August 2003 and August 2004 in Sokoto Nigeria. Ten Eimeria species were identified from 52 samples of 25 adults 1 yearand 25 young 1 year and both sexes of the goats. The Eimeria species encountered with their overall prevalences in decreasing frequency included Eimeria arloingi96.2 E. ninakohlyakimovae 94.2 E. hirci 90.4 E. alijevi 84.6 E.christenseni 67.3 E. caprina I E. caprovina 63.5 E. joichijevi and E.apsheronica 15.4 each and E. minasensis 11.5. Infected goats had minimum of 3 species among adults 4 species among young and a maximum of 9 species in both age groups. E. christenseni and E. jolchijevi were more common prevalent in kids than in adult goats. E. hirci E. caprina E. caprovina and E. minasensis are reported for the first time in Nigerian goats.
