Coccidiosis is a common protozoan parasitic disease causing severe economic loss to the livestock sector. It is caused by a coccidian parasite of the genus Eimeria. There are several species of Eimeria found to affect sheep and goat, among them E.ovinodalis and E.ahsata are highly pathogenic in sheep whereas E.arlongi, E.christenseni and E.ninakohlykimove are found to be more pathogenic in goat. Most of the species of Eimeria are reported to be host specific with no cross infection between sheep and goat (Engidow et al.,2015). It is considered as an intracellular parasite with more affinity towards epithelial cells of the intestine. During their lifecycle they undergo a series of asexual reproductive stages followed by sexual stage resulting in oocyst formation. The infected animal passed out oocyst and result in contamination of feed, water and soil. The patent period for coccidiosis is 3 to 10 days but it depends on the host species, species, infective dose of the oocyst, condition and age of the host and other factors. Coccidiosis is an economically important because it causes lowering of the production and loss due to subclinical diseases.
