  • Title: Hepatic coccidiosis in the goat.
    Author: Dai YB, Lin MC, Zhang SX, Fu AQ.
    Journal: Int J Parasitol; 1991 Jun; 21(3):381-2. PubMed ID: 1894438.
    Abstract:
    Coccidial oocysts were seen in the bile from five goats infected with coccidia either naturally or artificially. The oocysts measured on average 21.3 by 18.3 microns and resembled those of Eimeria ninakohlyakimovae. Livers and gall bladders of infected animals showed various degrees of histopathological changes. In the worst case, bile had a thick consistency and contained blood and necrotic debris. Apart from those in the bile, oocysts were seen in liver smears and in the centrilobular vein in two histological sections. Forms resembling meronts and measuring on average 200 by 147 microns were seen in sections of bile duct.
