Objective: This study was carried out for identification of Eimeria spp isolated from poultry breeder farms in Iran by PCR. Design: Pop-Gene Analysis. 
Animals: Poultry breeder farms. 
Procedures: A total of 114 litter samples from poultry breeder farms without previous exposure to anticoccidial vaccine were collected randomly from relatively five different climate regions 
of Iran. DNA was extracted from oocysts of samples, using phenol- 
chloroform and proteinase-K. Four pairs of specific primers, designated from Internal Transcribed Spacer-l(ITSI) regions of ribosomal DNA of E. acervulina, E. brunetti, E. necatrix, and E. tend/a and one pairs of universal primer BSEF-BSER which 
amplify ITS 1 of different Eimeria were used in PCR assay. In tests 
on purified genomic DNA from all species of Eimeria isolated from infected samples, each of four primer pairs amplified the ITS! 
region of their respective target species only. The PCR products 
were analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis 
Results: DNA fragments in sizes of 320 pairs (E. acervulina), 311 pairs (E. brunette), 384 pairs (E. necatrix) and 287 pairs (E. tenella) 
were detected on agarose gel electrophoresis. Universal primer 
pairs also amplified ITS1 of five Eimeria which isolated from 
infected samples. Laboratory implications: The results of this study were showed that PCR technique is a conventional method, faster, technically 
easier and very cheaper than other methods to identify the Eimeria 
spp. Finally, this technique can be recommended to be a routine 
work in well equipped veterinary diagnostic labs in IRAN.
