Abstract
Small ruminant coccidiosis is a contagious protozoal disease that especially occurs in kids and lambs with a worldwide distribution In this study a total number of 21 small ruminants including six goats and 15 sheep with ages between 2 weeks to 6 years old with history of depression loss of appetite yellow to dark watery diarrhea progressive dehydration and emaciation were referred for diagnosis of the disease At necropsy gross lesions were seen mostly in the jejunum ileum cecum and sometimes in proximal colon Three cases had minimal lesions including a few scattered whitish nonpedunculated to pedunculated nodules on the mucosa of the jejunum and ileum Eighteen cases had marked lesions including numerous small whitish nonpedunculated nodules on the mucosa of the jejunum ileum cecum and proximal colon Advanced cases had adenomatouslike mucosa and a cerebriform or gyrate pattern on the serosal surface Microscopically lesions in both minimal and marked cases were similar to proliferative enteritis except the extent of lesions and amount of inflammatory reaction In marked cases the epithelial cells of hyperplastic crypts and villi of the jejunum ileum cecum and proximal part of colon were full of developmental stages of Eimeria especially progamonts The giant schizonts were easily discernible in five cases There was no histologic evidence of presence of developmental stages of Eimeria in the duodenum distal colon rectum submucosal tissues or mesenteric lymph nodes In conclusion this study showed no differences between sheep and goat cases with regards to clinical signs gross and histopathologic lesions The most common lesions were in the jejunum ileum and cecum grossly as nonpedunculated whitish nodules and microscopically as proliferative enteritis with presence of developmental stages of the Eimeria in the hyperplastic enterocytes
