Abstract
Studies on distribution of rabbits’ Eimeria were performed during 2020–2021 in foothills of Armenia based on the station of Russian-Armenian Center of Zoology and Parasitology of A.N. Severtsov’s Institute of Ecology and Evolution RAS and a Scientific Center of Zoology and Hydroecology of National Academy of Science of Armenia. In the farms studied there were found 7 species of eimerioses’ (g. Eimeria Schneider, 1875) causative agents: E. coecicola Cheissin 1947, E. exigua Yakimoff, 1934, E. irresidua Kessel & Jankiewicz, 1931, E. magna Pérard, 1925, E. media Kessel, 1929, E. perforans (Leuckart, 1879) Sluiter et Swellengrebel, 1912, E. stiedae (Lindemann, 1865) Kisskalt et Hartmann, 1907 and a giant form we have also detected before which we denotate as E. sp. The work describes the frequencies of appearance of the Eimeria species detected dependent on season. Life cycles have been studied and roles various species play as causative agents are established.
