Bovine coccidia in American bison.

K L Ryff, R C Bergstrom

    Journal of Wildlife Diseases
    |July 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Three coccidia species, common in cattle, were identified in American bison for the first time in Wyoming. This finding expands the known host range for these parasites in wild bison populations.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Parasitology
    • Wildlife Health
    • Protozoology

    Background:

    • Coccidia are significant protozoan parasites affecting livestock globally.
    • American bison (Bison bison) populations can be susceptible to various parasitic infections.
    • Previous reports on coccidia in American bison are limited.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify coccidial species present in American bison from Wyoming.
    • To determine if coccidia species commonly found in cattle also infect American bison.
    • To document novel host-parasite associations in wildlife.

    Main Methods:

    • Oocysts were isolated from fecal samples of American bison.
    • Oocyst morphology was analyzed using structural measurements.
    • Oocyst sporulation times were recorded under laboratory conditions.

    Main Results:

    • Three species of coccidia were identified in the American bison.
    • The identified species are known to infect domestic cattle.
    • This represents the first report of these specific coccidia species in American bison.

    Conclusions:

    • The study identified three cattle-specific coccidia species in American bison.
    • This finding highlights a potential overlap in parasitic infections between domestic cattle and wild bison.
    • Further research is needed to understand the epidemiological impact on bison health.
