- Eimeria species and other coccidial organisms are microscopic intestinal parasites that commonly infect rabbits, particularly young and recently weaned ones. These intracellular parasitic protozoa target the intestinal mucosa and liver, leading to digestive disorders that result in increased mortality and morbidity rates, as well as reduced productive performance in rabbits.
