Summary. The aim of the study was to determine the spread of
pathogens of parasitic diseases in the digestive organs of rabbits in farms of
various forms of ownership in Odesa Region. One thousand and two hundred
rabbits of different age groups in specialized farms (which they use cage
keeping of animals in compliance with all zoohygienic requirements and a
balanced feeding ration), as well as 582 rabbits in private farms (which
the type of feeding was mixed) were examined. Prevalence of parasitic
infections of rabbits in specialized farms is 52.3%, in household
farms — 85.1%. In specialized farms, prevalence of cysticercosis is
2.6% (with intensity of 3–7 cysticerci), eimeriosis —
14.0%, trichostrongylosis — 13.6%, and passalurosis —
20.6%, two-component (eimeriosis + cysticercosis)
infection —1.0%, three-component (eimeriosis + cysticercosis +
passalurosis) infection — 0.5%, total infestation (both mono- and
mixed infections) with cysticerci — 4.1%. In homestead farms,
prevalence of cysticercosis is 27.7% (with intensity of
21–64 cysticerci), eimeriosis — 15.6%,
trichostrongylosis — 3.6%, and passalurosis — 6.7%,
two-component (eimeriosis + cysticercosis) infection —24.2%,
three-component (eimeriosis + cysticercosis + passalurosis)
infection — 7.2%, total infestation (both mono- and mixed
infections) with cysticerci — 59.1%. Cysticercosis is a common
infection of rabbits in Odesa Region, which occurs often as part of mixed
infections with pathogens eimeriosis and pasalurosis. The total infestation of rabbits
with cysticerci in homestead farms was 55.0% higher than in specialized ones.
One-component infestations in specialized farms is 97.1% of sick rabbits, and
in homestead farms — 63.0%; two-component (eimeriosis + cysticercosis)
infection — 1.9% and 28.5%, respectively; and three-component
(eimeriosis + cysticercosis + passalurosis) infection —
1.0% and 8.5%, respectively
