Prevalence, species composition, and associated factors of coccidiosis among domestic ruminants in Ethiopia: Systematic review and meta-analysis

2026Open accessWoldia University

Abstract

species in cattle. Ruminants living in the Tigray region and Addis Ababa, those with poor or medium body condition scores, studies with <384 samples and 2007-2015 published articles were significant risk factors for the prevalence of coccidiosis. This meta-analysis revealed that the prevalence of coccidiosis is high in domestic ruminants, but it is still neglected in Ethiopia, posing a significant economic impact on animal health and production. Therefore, planned preventive measures and control efforts are needed.
