A total of 126 faecal samples were collected from households, semi-commercial and commercial poultry farms in different age-groups. These chickens had no history of vaccination against coccidiosis and had never been given coccidiostat drugs. Oocysts were collected from the microscopically positive samples and DNA was isolated for the PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) amplification. The results showed that 87 (77.68%) were positive. The infection rate of E. tenella, E. acervulina, E. brunetti, E. maxima, E. mitis and E. necatrix were 78.16, 70.11, 58.62, 43.68, 28.74 and 26.44%, respectively. Eimeria praecox was not found in this study. So, far in Vietnam, the application of PCR techniques in diagnosis diseases in animal in general and in parasitic diseases in particularly has not been common yet, throughout this study, an important step will be opened the new tendency in improvement of DNA extraction and molecular diagnosis animal diseases in stead of conventional methods.} }
