Abstract: In order to grasp the current infection of rabbit coccidiosis in Wenzhou area，595 fresh faecal pellets were collected from 3 counties and examined by McMaster counting and the method of saturated saline flotation to investigate species and the prevalence of Eimeria infections in domestic rabbits. The results showed overall prevalence of infections was 771%, all of infection were mixed infection, mostly of which were infected by three to five Eimeria species.  The infection rates of coccidia among each rabbit age were different，the infection rate of rabbits aged 1-3 months was 977%，and most of them had more oocysts than the elder rabbits. Ten species of Eimeria were identified from oocystpositive samples，the more prevalent species were E.irrestidua， E.perfomns， E. intestinalis and E.magna. Above results would provide the effectiveness of future control strategies against rabbit coccidiosis．
