Abstract

The coccidia species of domestic pig and wild boar were compared and defined morphologically and the sporogony of both was examined. No difference could be detected between the coccidia species of domestic pig and wild boar. Six Eimeria and one Isospora species were found: Eimeria debliecki, E. polita, E. porci, E. scabra, E. spinosa, E. suis and Isospora suis. E porci could be found in Austria for the first time. E. cerdonis Vetterling, 1965 is a synonym of E. polita Pellérdy, 1949.
