Coccidiosis is a common disease of livestock, including water buffaloes. Reports discussing the prevalence and identity of coccidian parasites in water buffaloes from Egypt are few, and nothing is known concerning the most pathogenic species, . Fresh feces collected from 175 water buffaloes in Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt, were processed using the standard flotation technique. Eimerian oocysts were found in 49 (28%) samples, and 10 species were identified. oocysts were found in 10 samples (5.7%), and this was the single species in 3 diarrheic calves. Typical oocysts of with smooth oocyst walls were observed in 4 (2.3%) samples. Closely similar oocysts were found in a single sample (0.6%) together with those of . These oocysts had a rough granulated or mammillated wall and are referred to as -like oocysts. A molecular study is needed to clarify whether and -like oocysts are from different species. Other identified species were: (0.6%), (10.8%), (1.1%), (4%), (2.3%), (2.8%), and (9.7%). This is the first report of oocysts in water buffaloes from Egypt.
球虫病是包括水牛在内的家畜的一种常见疾病。关于埃及水牛体内球虫寄生虫的流行情况和种类鉴定的报道很少，对于最具致病性的种类更是一无所知。从埃及达卡利亚省的175头水牛采集新鲜粪便，采用标准漂浮技术进行处理。在49份（28%）样本中发现了艾美耳属卵囊，鉴定出10个种类。在10份样本（5.7%）中发现了 卵囊，在3头腹泻小牛中这是唯一的种类。在4份（2.3%）样本中观察到具有光滑卵囊壁的典型 卵囊。在1份样本（0.6%）中发现与 卵囊极为相似的卵囊。这些卵囊具有粗糙的颗粒状或乳头状壁，被称为 样卵囊。需要进行分子研究以阐明 和 样卵囊是否来自不同物种。其他鉴定出的 种类有： （0.6%）、 （10.8%）、 （1.1%）、 （4%）、 （2.3%）、 （2.8%）和 （9.7%）。这是埃及水牛体内 卵囊的首次报道。
