Abstract: Clinical, pathological and parasitological findings were presented in casses of naturally occurring hepatic coccidiosis in 10 Angora rabbits aging 4 to 6 week-old. Macroscopical changes were characterized by mild ascites, multiple 1-3 mm diameter, discrete to colascing, yellow white nodules in the liver. Microgamates, macrogametes and oocysts were detected in Giemsa stained impression smears. Histological lesions were characterized by bile duct dilatation, bile duct epithelial hyperplasia and duct luminae were filled with numerous ovoid cysts.
