Title: Prevalence of renal coccidia in wild waterfowl in Saskatchewan
Abstract: Using a modified flotation technique, 627 waterfowl were examined for the presence of oocysts of renal coccidia. From kidneys collected during 1980 to 1982 oocysts of Eimeria spp. were detected in 151 of 336 individuals of 11 species of ducks, 130 of 287 birds of two species of geese, and two of four whistling swans (Cygnus columbianus). Renal coccidia are reported for the first time from the common goldeneye (Bucephala clangula) and the whistling swan.
