The entire infection process was monitored over four seasons (2012-2015) by a targeted and systematic study of ring-necked pheasants and red-legged partridges from an intensive artificial breeding programme in the Czech Republic, with focus on studying the transmission dynamics throughout the breeding process, from hatching up to release of birds to open area, in connection with timing of appropriate and effective application of drugs. 1752 pooled excrement samples were examined (745 from pheasants and 1007 from partridges). Post-mortem examinations were performed on 625 dead birds (514 pheasants and 111 partridges). Main infections of A. rufa and P. colchicus comprised representatives of the protozoa genera Eimeria and Cryptosporidium; as well as nematodes Capillaria
s.l., Heterakis gallinarum and Syngamus trachea.
Identification of oocyst isolates of Cryptosporidium baileyi, C. meleagridis anf C. galli were supported
and characterized by nested PCR of heat shock protein 70
(HSP70), actin and 60 kDa glycoprotein (GP60) genes.
