Resumen
[ES]Las poblaciones de conejo (Oryctolagus cuniculus) están en declive debido, entre
otras razones, a las enfermedades que sufre. Las principales son: la mixomatosis, la
neumonía hemorrágica vírica (NHV) y la coccidiosis, esta última producida
principalmente por especies del género Eimeria. Las especies pertenecientes a este
género son parásitos monoxenos intestinales, excepto E. stiedai, que infecta los
conductos biliares del hígado. En este estudio recogimos heces de conejo en busca
de ooquistes de Eimeria, para identificar las especies que podíamos encontrar y
realizar un seguimiento de las mismas desde Septiembre de 2013 a Mayo de 2014.
Nuestros resultados mostraron una mayor incidencia de la coccidiosis en otoño
(principalmente en Octubre) y en primavera (principalmente en Abril). La especie
más abundante fue E.perforans, con una prevalencia del 68,5%, seguida por
E.piriformis y E. coecicola, ambas con una prevalencia del 46,3%.
[EN]Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) populations are on decline because of, among other reasons, diseases that it suffers. Rabbit most important diseases are: mixomatosis, viral haemorrhagic disease (VHD) and coccidiosis, mainly caused by genus Eimeria species. This species have a monoxenous development, and they parasitize rabbit intestine, except E. stiedai, that it infect the liver biliary ducts. In this study, we picked up rabbit faeces, looking for Eimeria oocyst, in order to identify all Eimeria species and to monitor them from September of 2013 to May of 2014. Our results showed a largest coccidiosis impact on Autumn (mainly on October) and on Spring (mainly on April). The most abundant species were E. perforans, with a 68,5% of prevalence and E. piriformis and E. coecicola, both with a 46,3 % of prevalence.
