Egg hatching in 3 species of monocotylid monogenean parasites from the shovelnose ray Rhinobatos typus at Heron Island, Australia.

abstract：:Eimerian oocysts were found in 98% of 422 faeces samples from goats in SE England. It was found that 74% of the samples contained thousands or tens of thousands of oocysts/g. Kids less than 1 year old had higher oocyst counts than yearling or adult goats. Nine species of Eimeria were identified, and 65% of the samples...
