Abstract
The number of intestinal parasites reported from hutch-raised domestic rabbits is not large, and of these only a few are encountered with sufficient frequency to permit any calculation of incidence of infection. However, even for those parasites of most frequent occurrence, the coccidia, there is little reliable information concerning their actual prevalence in rabbits maintained for commercial purposes. No part of the United States embraces such a concentration of domestic rabbits as does the Los Angeles area in southern California. For this reason, and because of its proximity to the laboratories of the U. S. Rabbit Experiment Station, this area was selected for studies of the enterozoic parasites of the domestic rabbit. Between January 28 and March 19, 1948 a survey was made to determine the prevalence of intestinal parasites, particularly coccidia, in hutch-raised domestic rabbits in southern California. Altogether 1,200 fecal specimens were collected in 23 commercial rabbitries in 15 localities scattered over parts of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Ventura Counties.
