The protist phylum Apicomplexa Levine, 1970 comprises a large and heterogeneous assemblage of obligate intracellular parasites of medical and veterinary significance (e.g. Eimeria, Cryptosporidium, Plasmodium, Toxoplasma). The largest subgroup of the phylum is the suborder Eimeriorina Leger, 1911, which contains organisms collectively referred to as the coccidia (Levine et al., 1980). - Read more

Coccidia, an important order of Sporozoa Ectospora, parasites possessing certain very distinctive characters. With one or two possible exceptions, they are invariably intracellular during the entire trophic life of the individual. They always attack tissuecells, usually of an epithelium, and never blood-corpuscles. Correlated with the advanced degree of parasitism, there is a complete absence of specialization or differentiation of the cellbody, and the trophozoite is quite incapable of any kind of movement. - Read more

Coccidia are tiny single-celled parasites that live in the wall of your cat’s (or dog's) intestine. They are found more often in kittens, but they can also infect older cats. Cats become infected by swallowing soil that contains coccidia or other substances in the environment that may contain cat feces. - Read more

Coccidiosis is a disease which affects many species of animal, and can have serious health and economic consequences - particularly in groups of animals such as Poultry. Coccidia are microscopic single-celledparasites (called protozoa) that live within cells and are usually found in the intestinal tract. - Read more

Coccidiosis can have detrimental effects on the health of young animals, but the good news is that strict cleaning protocols and inexpensive treatments make the disease more manageable than other common problems such as URI and parvovirus. - Read more

Oocysts (immature coccidia) are passed in the stool of the cat. They lie in the environment and eventually sporulate (mature) into a more developed oocyst. - Read more

Coccidia are single celled organisms that infect the intestine. They are microscopic parasites detectable on routine fecal tests in the same way that worms are but coccidia are not worms and they are not visible to the naked eye. Coccidia infection causes a watery diarrhea which is sometimes bloody and can even be a life-threatening problem to an especially young or small pet. - Read more

Coccidiosis is an parasitic disease of the intestinal tract. It is caused by intracellular microscopic protozoans (single celled organisms) called coccidia. The diseases caused by these parasites are referred to collectively as coccidiosis. There are many species of coccidia, and each is infective in different animals. The species of coccidia that most frequently affect cats are I. rivolta and I. felis. Symptoms are most commonly seen in kittens under 6 months of age. Most adults carry coccidia, but their immune system keeps it in check, some adults may however shed cysts in the faeces. Symptoms can appear especially if the cat is stressed or the immune system is under attack from another cause, such as FIV. - Read more

Coccidiosis is an intestinal tract infection caused by one-celled organisms (protozoa) called coccidia. Coccidia are sub-classified into a number of genera, and each genus has a number of species. At least six different genera of coccidia can infect dogs and cats. These microscopic parasites spend part of their life cycle in the lining cells of the intestine. Most infections are not associated with any detectable clinical signs. - Read more
