Özet
The objective of this study was to identify the coccidian species present in water buffaloes in the vicinity of Afyon. Faecal samples were collected directly from the rectum of a total of 104 water buffaloes, and examined in the laboratory using Sheather's saturated sugar solution. Faecal samples found to contain
Eimeria
species were mixed with a solution of 2.5% potassium dichromate, left at room temperature in petri dishes until the oocysts sporulated, and then examined in order to identify the species. Eleven different
Eimeria
species and one
Isospora
species were identified in 78 (75%) out of the 104 water buffaloes as follows:
E. zuernii
(55.1%),
E. auburnensis
(44.9%),
E. bovis
(44.9%),
E. ellipsoidalis
(28.2%),
E. ankarensis
(16.7%),
E. subspherica
(16.7%),
E. alabamensis
(11.5%),
E. cylindrica
(10.3%),
E. bareillyi
(5.1%),
E. canadensis
(5.1%),
E. brasiliensis
(3.8%), and
Isospora
spp. (46.2%). With this study, species causing coccidiosis in water buffaloes in the province of Afyon were identified for the first time, and
Isospora
spp. in the water buffalo is reported for the first time.
