Eimeria oocysts were found in 89% of fecal samples collected from the rectum of 75 sheep from 3 locations in Papua New Guinea. Eighty five percent of the hosts which were positive for coccidia had multiple infections with up to 6 different species of Eimeria. In order of decreasing predominance in the 67 Eimeria-positive samples the species were: E. ovina (72%); E. parva (58%); E. ovinoidalis (48%); E. ahsata (45%); E. crandallis (39%); E. faurei (28%); E. intricata (24%); E. granulosa (4%). Fecal oocyst counts showed the highest mean of 1252 oocysts per gram (o.p.g.) for E. parva and a maximum of 8000 for E. ovina.
在从巴布亚新几内亚3个地点采集的75只绵羊直肠粪便样本中,89%发现了艾美耳球虫卵囊。85%的球虫阳性宿主存在多重感染,感染多达6种不同的艾美耳球虫。在67个艾美耳球虫阳性样本中,按优势递减顺序排列的种类为:绵羊艾美耳球虫(72%);小艾美耳球虫(58%);类绵羊艾美耳球虫(48%);阿氏艾美耳球虫(45%);克兰氏艾美耳球虫(39%);法氏艾美耳球虫(28%);复杂艾美耳球虫(24%);颗粒艾美耳球虫(4%)。粪便卵囊计数显示,小艾美耳球虫的平均每克卵囊数最高,为1252个(o.p.g.),绵羊艾美耳球虫的最高值为8000个。
