The faeces of 205 domestic cattle (Bos taurus) from 5 regions of Saudi Arabia were examined for the presence of coccidian parasites. The following species of Eimeria were recovered: Eimeria auburnensis, E. bovis, E. cylindrica, E. ellipsoidalis, E. subspherica, E. wyomingensis and E. zuerni. A total of 34.1% of the individual faecal samples were positive for the presence of coccidial oocysts. Mixed infections of 2-4 species were found in 15.7% of the specimens. E. zuerni and E. bovis occurred most frequently and were generally the most predominant species. The incidence of coccidia-infected cattle was higher in the eastern region.
对来自沙特阿拉伯5个地区的205头家牛（Bos taurus）粪便进行了球虫寄生虫检测。发现了以下艾美耳球虫种类：奥本艾美耳球虫、牛艾美耳球虫、圆柱形艾美耳球虫、椭圆形艾美耳球虫、近球形艾美耳球虫、怀俄明艾美耳球虫和邱氏艾美耳球虫。共有34.1%的个体粪便样本球虫卵囊呈阳性。15.7%的样本中发现了2 - 4种混合感染。邱氏艾美耳球虫和牛艾美耳球虫出现频率最高，且通常是最主要的种类。东部地区受球虫感染的牛的发病率较高。
