Coproscopic examination, using the Willis-Schlaf flotation method, was performed in 122 cows imported to Poland from the Czech Republic, 28 from France, and 27 from Germany. The mean prevalence of infection with Eimeria protozoa in cows imported to Poland was 20.90%. Infections were found in 51.85% of animals imported form Germany, 28.57% from France, and 12.30% from the Czech Republic. Five species of coccidia (E. bovis, E. auburnensis, E. ellipsoidalis, E. subspherica, and E. zürnii) were isolated from the faeces of cows imported from the Czech Republic, four species (E. bovis, E. auburnensis, E. ellipsoidalis, and E. zürnii) from French cows, and seven species (E. bovis, E. auhurnensis, E. ellipsoidalis, E. canadensis, E. cylindrica, E. alabamensis, and E. zürnii) from German cows. The analysed animals were found to have mixed (mostly two- and three- species) coccidial infections. When importing cattle to Poland, special attention should be given to Eimeria protozoa because of the high prevalence of infection with species such as E. zürnii and E. bovis, which are responsible for the incidence of clinical coccidiosis in the geoclimatic conditions of Poland.
