Summary

Common causes of rabbit enteritis include coccidia (Eimeria species) and bacteria like Escherichia coli and Clostridium. Often, multiple pathogens contribute to rabbit enteritis, complicating diagnosis and treatment.

Background:

Enteritis is a significant health concern in domestic rabbits.
Identifying causative agents is crucial for effective disease management.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify the causative agents of enteritis in domestic rabbits.
To determine the frequency and co-occurrence of pathogens.

Main Methods:

Microbiological and histopathological examination of samples from 44 rabbit accessions.
Serological survey for rotavirus antibodies in 200 fryer rabbits.

Main Results:

The most frequent agents were coccidia (Eimeria spp.), Escherichia coli, Clostridium spp., Salmonella, Bacillus piliformis, and rotavirus.

Published on: July 31, 2021

Only one E. coli strain (O15) was identified; Clostridium was found in 11 cases.

Over 50% of surveyed rabbits showed rotavirus antibodies, indicating widespread infection.

Multiple potentially pathogenic organisms were often identified concurrently.

Conclusions:

Enteritis in domestic rabbits is multifactorial, involving various protozoan, bacterial, and viral agents.
Co-infections with multiple pathogens are common and likely contribute to disease severity.
Effective control strategies must address the diverse and often combined etiological agents.
