*3 pathogenic ''Eimeria'' species
**2 in the [[Caecum - Anatomy & Physiology|caecum]]
**1 in the bile duct
*''Eimeria steidae''
**Parasitises the bile duct epithelium
**Travels via the bile duct to the [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]] where it forms large white nodules
**Oocysts travel in the bile and are passed out in the faeces
**Causes ascites, [[Intestine Diarrhoea - Pathology|diarrhoea]], weight loss and polyuria
*Serious disease of both pet and farmed rabbits
*Treatment is by administration of drugs in drinking water
**E.g. Toltrazuril
*Hygiene is the best method of prevention to prevent sporocysts from sporulating
*Medicated feed can be used in commercial units
**E.g. Rabenidine
