Two groups of ten corpologically oocyst free rabbits were infected respectively with 2x10**5 and 4x10**5 coccidia oocysts composed of Eimeria flavescens (7%), Eimeria matsubayashi (9%), Eimeria magna (12%), Eimeria neoleporis (19%), Eimeria perforans (21%) and Eimeria media (32%). A third group served as the control. Only three infected animals developed full-blown disease with diarrhea. The others suffered from a subclinical form of the disease. Shortly before and then on days 4, 7, and 10 after infection, red and white blood cell numbers, hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit values were determined. Following the infection, red blood cell numbers, hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit decreased. White blood cell numbers declined except in those rabbits infected with the higher number of oocysts in which a rise was detected on day 4 after infection.
