In this epidemiological study 30 mares and their foals from seven farms in Upper Bavaria were investigated. Eimeria-leuckarti-oocysts were found in 24 foals (80%), but only in one mare. Oocysts were first detected 28 days post partum at the earliest and 191 days post partum at the latest. In foals, excretion of oocysts usually occurred intermittently with coproscopically negative intervals of up to 15 weeks, and was most frequent in June (8 foals), July (17 foals), and August (10 foals). With the exception of two animals which had mild diarrhoea, the oocyst-shedding foals showed no clinical signs.
在这项流行病学研究中，对来自上巴伐利亚七个农场的30匹母马及其幼驹进行了调查。在24匹幼驹（80%）中发现了鲁氏艾美耳球虫卵囊，但仅在一匹母马中发现。卵囊最早在产后28天被检测到，最晚在产后191天被检测到。在幼驹中，卵囊排泄通常呈间歇性，粪便检查呈阴性的间隔时间长达15周，6月（8匹幼驹）、7月（17匹幼驹）和8月（10匹幼驹）最为频繁。除了两匹有轻度腹泻的动物外，排虫卵囊的幼驹没有表现出临床症状。
