20 Rats suffering from digestive disturbances were examined. Pathological changes were observed in the liver and intestine. Severe hyperplasia of the epithelium of the bile duct was prominent together with Eimeria infection in different stages of gametogenesis. The intestine revealed extensive desquamation of its mucosa as well as the presence of great number of Coccidial oocyst. It was concluded that, hepatic coccidiosis can occur in rats and the lesions were greatly similar to hepatic coccidiosis in rabbits.
