The authors examined coccidia infection of fecal of wild boars shot in the south region of Mátra in Hungary. All animals were harvested in the 2009-2011 hunting season.
Seventy one (43.82%) positive results were found out of 162 wild boars tested for coccidia oocyst. The Eimeria spp. were indentified in 44 cases and Eimeria perminuta in 41 cases (93.18%), E. debliecki 21 cases (47.72%), E. scabra 11 cases (25.0%), E. neodebliecki 6 cases (13.63%) were found. In case of the wild boars that were younger than 1-year-old 21 positive samples (29.57%) were found and in case of older than 1-year-old wild boars, 50 (70.42%) animals were tested positively. The coccidia oocyst infection occoured more frequently in case of males- 42 (59.16%) were tested positivley- as for the females 29 (40.84%) positive samples were found. Based on the results, even co-infection between Eimerias and helminths can be assumed.
