can be seen in the infected rabbits. It is sometimes accompanied by bleedings and mucosal ulcerations (Coudert et al. 1995).
The sporulation time recorded in the present study was 72 hours. Variations in the sporulation time may be due to crowdedness of oocysts or depends on contamination. This may also support the opinion that different sporulation times may be related to different experimental factors or laboratory techniques or to the lack of adequate oxygen (Bashtar et al., 2010). Coccidiosis is considered to be a major problem in rabbits as mortality rate may go high particularly during and after rainy season (Singla et al., 2000). Present study report was also reported in the month of August, when the rainy season will start. Subclinical infections are more common with intestinal coccidiosis in rabbits. In this study also we find only emaciation associated with diarrhoea. Prevention is the best method in the control of rabbit coccidiosis. Sanitation and husbandry are the most important aspects in controlling the infection.
