| Abstract | ||||
| A total 205 quails (93 migrant; Coturnix coturnix japonica and112 farm's quail) were collected. Fresh faecal samples were examined from each bird by direct and concentration method. The results showed that the total percentage of infection with Eimeria species oocysts was 43.90%. The prevelance of Eimeria spp. in migrant and farm's quails was 68.82% and 23.21%, respectively. Five species of the genus Eimeria were recorded in migrant quails and identified as E. bateri, E. tsunodai, E. uzura, E. colini and E. bahli and two species of Eimeria; E. bateri, E. tsunodai were found in farm's quail. Morphological characters of the detected Eimeria were described. | ||||
