Open publisher page 6 citations

Abstract

Abstract Coccidiosis is principally an enteric disease of vertebrates that results from infection with eimeriid parasites of the genus Eimeria or Isospora (Apicomplexa; Coccidia; Eimeriidae). Coccidiosis is a frequent cause of diarrhoea, morbidity and mortality in domesticated birds and mammals that can be alleviated by use of prophylactic or therapeutic antiparasitic drugs or, less commonly, by vaccination.
