In Alentejo, the pathogenic Eimeria arloingi was one of most prevalent species identified. A new E. arloingi European strain was isolated and a suitable in vitro culture system for the first merogony in primary endothelial cells was established. Moreover, parasite-host endothelial cells interactions were investigated during macromeront formation. Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). We have demonstrated for the first time NET formation performed by caprine PMN exposed to different stages of E. arloingi (sporozoites and oocysts), suggesting NETosis as an important effector mechanism in the early innate immune response to this infection in goats. The new E. arloingi (strain A) will be useful for better comprehension of early host innate immune reactions against this parasite in vitro/in vivo as well as to further our investigations in the complex Eimeria-host endothelial cell interactions. Key words: Coccidiosis; Eimeria arloingi; Endothelial cell modulation; Innate immune reactions; Neutrophil extracellular traps iv RESUMO A coccidiose constitui um enorme problema na indústria caprina, causando graves perdas económicas. No Alentejo, a espécie patogénica Eimeria arloingi foi uma das mais frequentemente identificadas. Uma nova estirpe europeia de E. arloingi foi isolada e um sistema de cultura in vitro foi estabelecido para o desenvolvimento da primeira merogonia em células endoteliais primárias e as interações parasita-células endoteliais do hospedeiro foram investigadas durante a formação dos macromerontes. Os neutrófilos (PMN) extrudem redes extracelulares (Nets). Pela primeira vez demonstramos a formação de NETs por PMN caprinos expostos a diferentes estádios de E. arloingi (esporozoitos e oocistos), sugerindo que a NETosis é um importante mecanismo da resposta imune inata nesta infecção em cabras. A nova E. arloingi (estirpe A) será útil para uma melhor compreensão das reações imunes inatas contra este parasita in vitro/in vivo, bem como para progredir nas nossas investigações sobre as complexas interações entre Eimeria-células endoteliais do hospedeiro. Palavras-chave: Coccidiose; Eimeria arloingi; Modulação das células endoteliais; Reações imunes inatas; Redes extracelulares de neutrófilos v 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Social and economic importance of goat industry According to FAOSTAT (2014), about one billion goats were reared for meat and milk production worldwide in 2012 (Fig. 1). In addition, to assure nutritional demands of small farmers in deprived regions and nourishment of growing ethnic populations, faith-based consumers and health-conscious people, goat production also guarantees working opportunities for a considerable number of people worldwide, apart from contributing to the cleaning of forest areas and fire prevention (Silva et al. 2014b).

  • Coccidiosis in Large and Small Ruminants
    Coccidiosis in Large and Small Ruminants a, b Sarah Tammy Nicole Keeton, PhD, MS *, Christine B. Navarre, DVM, MS KEYWORDS Coccidia Coccidiosis Diarrhea Ruminants Cattle Sheep Goats Ionophores KEY POINTS Coccidiosis is an important parasitic disease of ruminant livestock caused by the proto- zoan parasite of the genus Eimeria. Calves between 6 and 12 months of age and lambs and kids between 1 and 6 months of age are most susceptible. Subclinical disease is characterized by poor growth. Clinical disease is most commonly characterized by diarrhea. Control of coccidiosis is based on sound management, the use of preventive medications, and treatment of clinical cases as necessary. INTRODUCTION: NATURE OF THE PROBLEM Coccidiosis is a parasitic disease of vertebrate animals, including domestic ruminants.1 It is economically significant, with losses from both clinical and subclinical disease. Coccidiosis is caused by the protozoan parasite of the genus Eimeria. Eimeria are host specific, meaning that an Eimeria species that infect goats does not infect sheep or cattle and vice versa. Certain species of Eimeria are nonpathogenic and do not cause disease. The pathogenic species and sites of infection are listed in Table 1. Mixed infections with multiple pathogenic and nonpathogenic species is common. LIFE CYCLE Proper treatment and control of coccidiosis requires an understanding of the complex life cycle and transmission of Eimeria spp (Fig. 1). The life cycle can be divided into Disclosure: The authors have nothing to disclose. a Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, School of Veterinary Medicine, Louisiana State University, Skip Bertman Drive, Baton Rouge, LA 70803, USA; b LSU AgCenter, School of Animal Sciences, Louisiana State University, 111 Dalrymple Bldg, 110 LSU Union Square, Baton Rouge, LA 70803-0106, USA * Corresponding author.

Abstract The immunizing effect of inactivated sporulated oocyst and inactivated sonicated vaccines against bovine coccidiosis was observed in calves. Indirect haemagglutination (IHA) test was developed for detecting antibodies to coccidian. Serum antibody levels in calves were measured against soluble oocyst (sporulated) antigen. IHA antibody titer was significantly higher (P<0.05) in calves vaccinated with inactivated sonicated vaccines as compared to the calves vaccinated with inactivated sporulated vaccines. Results of the challenge experiments indicated that the inactivated sonicated vaccine gave protection to the challenge calves as immune calves contained high level of antibodies that resisted heavy dose of challenge.

Severity of Eimeria spp. infection is more in young animals. Two goat kids aged below one year died with history of mucoid to haemorrhagic yellow watery diarrhea, anorexia, emaciation, poor growth and death. At necropsy, gross lesions in intestines revealed diffuse small whitish non-pedunculated nodules of 5mm to 8mm diameter size in mucosa with focal petechial hemorrhages. Microscopic examination of intestinal content revealed numerous Eimeria spp. sporulated and unsporulated oocysts. In histopathological examination of intestines, enteritis was observed with denuded glandular epithelial cells, focal hyperplasia of intestinal villi and goblet cells, mild to moderate infiltration of inflammatory cells and haemorrhage. Various developmental stages of Eimeria spp. were also discernible in intestinal epithelial cells. Hence, caprine coccidiosis was diagnosed as the cause of death in kids.

    © Institute of Parasitology, Biology Centre CAS Folia Parasitologica 2015, 62: 020 doi: 10.14411/fp.2015.020 http://folia.paru.cas.cz Research note Observations on sporulation of Eimeria bovis (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) from the European bison Bison bonasus: effect of temperature and potassium dichromate solution Anna M. Pyziel and Aleksander W. Demiaszkiewicz W. Stefański Institute of Parasitology, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland Abstract: The present study was designed to determine the influence of temperature and the addition of potassium dichromate solution (K2Cr2O7) on the efficiency of sporulation ofEimeria bovis (Zublin, 1908), a coccidian species most commonly diagnosed in European bison Bison bonasus (Linnaeus). Sporulation under conventional conditions (2.5% dichromate solution, 23 °C) was completed on the fourth day of incubation (control), whereas the oocyst development took two days more at the temperature of 18 °C, and two days less at 28 °C. Additionally, experimental sporulation of E. bovis at the temperature of 23 °C in the environment of sterilised tap water (without any preservation) took 9 days more compared to control. Finally, oocyst development took 16 weeks when the faces were stored in the refrigerator (3–5 °C) without any special additives. Overall, our results indicate that K2Cr2O7, besides the temperature, plays a crucial role in the process of sporulation of oocysts under laboratory conditions, as the longest delay in sporogony was observed when the faeces were stored without any other additives in the temperature of the refrigerator.

Necropsies revealed an extremely edematous abomasal mucosa with a nodular surface and multiple focal areas of haemorrhagies. Histological examinations of affected abomasal mucosa showed numerous giant (up to 600 µm) coccidian macromeronts containing myriads of merozoites. These macromeronts were thick-walled and associated with hyperplasia of mucous neck cells, parietal cell atrophy, and moderate to intense lymphoplasmacytic inflammation that was centered on degenerated macromeront walls. Based on morphological characteristics, the macromeronts were identified as stages of Eimeria gilruthi, formerly known as Globidium, a coccidian parasite of uncertain taxonomic status historically associated with incidental coccidian abomasitis in sheep and goats. The current cases and the significantE.
