Author(s): Garedaghi Yagoob and Hashemzadefarhang Hossein

The aim was to study the Endoparasites of wild rabbits in East-Azerbaijan Province, north-west Iran, and its impacts on human health and animal production. From May 2010 to Sep 2010 the visceral samples of 60 wild rabbits at necropsy, selected from districts of East Azerbaijan Province, were removed, and examined for Endoparasites infestation. To identify the species of helminths, the nematodes were cleared in lactophenol (Wet-mount) and protozoans were stained using Giemsa and Trichrome staining. According to Results of present study 46.67% of rabbits infected toendoparasites were distinguished and these endoparasites was consist of Nematodirus leporis, Trichostrongylus retortaeformis,Passalurus ambigus, Cysticercus pisiformis, Eimeria magna and Eimeria steidae were distinguished. Of course in infected rabbits maximum and minimum infestation rate was belonging to Nematodirus leporis (13.33%), Eimeria magna and Eimeria steidae (3.33%) respectively
