Abstract

|
Hepatic coccidiosis was occurred in a rabbit farm in Chonbuk province. Clinically, rabbits showed anorexia, diarrhea, dehydration, and depression, subsequently died 3 - 5 days after onset of clinical signs. Grossly, multifocal white spots or lines on the liver suface were observed. Histopathologic lesions included hyperplasia of bile duct epithelium with infiltration of inflammatory cells such as plasma cells and granulocytes, which represents chronic pericholangitis. Different developmental stages of Eimeria stiedae were observed inside the epithelium of biliary system. This is the case of hepatic coccidiosis in rabbits.
