Abstract
Of the 45 samples tested 21 samples (46.6%) of the samples were positive for Eimeria tenella. Sequences of Eimeria tenella ITS-l regions showed 100% homology with the Houghton strain and >90 homology was observed with the American, European and Chinese strains of tenella. These variations among the study isolates indicate diversity of eld isolates within the composite broiler belt. This strains needs to be further veried for the strain variation in E. tenella for the development of drug and vaccine to overcome the drug and vaccine resistance problem
