Abstract：
Coccidiosis is one of the most pathogenic intestinal diseases caused by different species of Eimeria spp. (Phylum:Apicomplexa), that cause important economic losses to the livestock industry. Given the importance of camel breeding and its products in the regional economy, in this study the risk factors of prevalence of camels Coccidiosis in the Turkestan region of Republic of Kazakhstan was investigated by oocyte excretion monitoring in the herd. The results revealed that the prevalence of Eimeria sp, was136 (42.5%); and three types of Eimeria spp. were identified: Eimeriabactriani, Eimeriacameli, Eimeria dromedarii. The statistical analysisdemonstratedthat the prevalence and intensity of infection in camel ≤1-year-old were 65.5% and 149.2 respectively, and they were more likely to be infected with Eimeria spp. compared with adult camels (22.5%, 5.7), (pvalue≤0.05). Another probable risk factor is seasons of the year as it seems the high and low prevalence andinfection intensityare observed in summer (60%, 102.1) and winter (20.6%, 21.25), respectively. Multivariate analysis of our data revealed that age and season were significant risk factors (p< 0.005) and adoption of hygienic measures and husbandry practice are needed among the high risk groups(in young camel and summer season) to minimize, control and prevent spreadof the infection.
摘要：
球虫病是由不同种类的艾美球虫引起的致病性最强的肠道疾病之一。（Phylum：Apicomplex），给畜牧业造成重大经济损失。鉴于骆驼养殖及其产品在区域经济中的重要性，在这项研究中，通过对牛群进行卵母细胞排泄监测，调查了哈萨克斯坦共和国土耳其斯坦地区骆驼球虫病流行的危险因素。结果表明，艾美球虫的患病率，136（42.5％）；和三种类型的艾美球虫。被确认为:Eimeriabactriani，Eimeriacameli,柔毛球虫。统计分析表明，≤1岁骆驼的感染率和感染强度分别为65.5％和149.2。他们更有可能感染艾美球虫。与成年骆驼相比(22.5%，5.7),（pvalue≤0.05）。另一个可能的危险因素是一年中的季节，因为似乎在夏季观察到高患病率和低感染率（60％，102.1）和冬季（20.6%，21.25),分别。对我们的数据进行多变量分析显示，年龄和季节是重要的危险因素（p<0.005），在高风险人群（在年轻的骆驼和夏季）中需要采取卫生措施和畜牧业实践，以尽量减少，控制和防止感染蔓延。
