Abstract
Enteric parasites of migratory quails (Coturnix coturnix) were investigated in Matrouh governorate, Egypt. One hundred and ninety birds were trapped and submitted for examination. The overall prevalence of the enteric parasites in the migratory quails was (75.26%). Eight parasites (two protozoans, two nematodes and four cestodes) were recovered. The recovered protozoan parasites were Eimeria spp. (42.1%), Cryptosporidium spp. (10.52%). The detected nematodes were Subulura brumpti (1.05%) and Dispharynx nasauta (1.57%). While, the detected cestodes were Choanotaenia infundibulum (10.52%), Raillietina tetragona (3.68%), Raillietina echinobothrida (0.5%) and Triaenorhina rectangula (5.26%). The detected Eimeria species were identified as Eimeria bateri and Eimeria uzura.
