RENAL COCCIDIOSIS IN WILD DUCKS IN SASKATCHEWAN

P. N. NATION 1 and G. WOBESER 1

1 Department of Veterinary Pathology, Western College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada S7N 0W0

Ten of twelve species of wild ducks examined in central Saskatchewan were infected with renal coccidia. Of 261 ducks examined during autumn migration, 24.5% were infected while only 4% of 74 ducks examined during spring migration were infected. The greatest prevalence of infection occurred in female and juvenile birds. No gross lesions attributable to coccidia were found, and microscopic lesions were focal in nature. Oocysts from mallards were transmitted to captive mallards.
