One of the most significant protozoan diseases that impact farm and domestic animals is coccidiosis. While, amprolium is one of the traditional anticoccidial medication, the advent of drug-resistant strains of necessitates the development of novel treatments.

This study aimed to evaluate the ameliorative action of extract (ECE) against hepatic damage caused by infection. Mice were allocated into five groups as follows: two groups served as the control non-infected groups that received distilled water and ECE, respectively; subsequent three groups were infected with 10 parasitized erythrocytes; the last two groups were infected with the parasite and then treated with ECE and chloroquine.

Until recently, only scattered reports from different locations are known for ecto- and endoparasites. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the digenean species that infects one of the most economically fish species in the Arabian Gulf, the rosy goatfish Parupeneus rubescens .
