Eimeriosis in capybaras (Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris) in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

Capybaras are the largest of living rodents and are the most common wild rodent in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. They are commercially bred for their meat, hide, and oil. The present study aims to shed some light upon intestinal protozoa of capybaras using Sheather's method modified b...
