ABSTRACT
A significant effect of temperature, oxygen and salinity on survival and speed of sporulation of different Eimeria spp. oocysts was observed while insignificant effect of pH and centrifugation on Eimeria oocysts of cattle was recorded. Furthermore, a significant effect of subzero temperature for different periods on various Eimeria oocysts was also investigated.
