Symptoma

Intestinal Coccidiosis

In caecal coccidiosis, a marked typhlitis is present and haemorrhages are seen through the intestinal wall. 352. [thepoultrysite.com]

The parasite can infect all animals on the farm and in some countries the parasite is present on all farms. [en.wikipedia.org]

The number of oocysts present in feces is influenced by the genetically determined reproductive potential of the species, the number of infective oocysts ingested, stage of the infection, age and immune status of the animal, prior exposure, consistency [merckmanuals.com]

  • Fishing

    Wildlife such as bony fishes, amphibia, reptiles, birds, and mammals harbour Isospora and other genera, and each category of livestock—chickens, cattle, sheep, rabbits, pigs, etc.—has its own coccidian parasites. [britannica.com]

    Cats are the definitive host, but all mammals and some fish, reptiles, and amphibians can be intermediate hosts. Only cat feces will hold infective oocysts, but infection through ingestion of cysts can occur with the tissue of any intermediate host. [en.wikipedia.org]

  • Hemorrhagic Diarrhea

    In just a few days, millions of opportunistic coccidia infect the intestines, causing clinical signs such as hemorrhagic diarrhea, loss of weight, reduced performance and vigor, and even death. [corid.com]

    Poor weight gain, dehydration, polydipsia, and intermittent to profuse mucoid, watery, or hemorrhagic diarrhea with perineal fecal staining may occur. Secondary bacterial infections may develop and cause acute death. [dora.missouri.edu]

  • Tenesmus

    Signs may include discharge of blood or tissue, tenesmus, and dehydration. Serum protein and electrolyte concentrations (typically hyponatremia) may be appreciably altered, but changes in Hgb or PCV are seen only in severely affected animals. [merckmanuals.com]

  • Suggestibility

    This case suggests that intestinal coccidiosis may be included among the small number of conditions responsible for authentic "intractable diarrhea of infancy." [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Neglect

    Though coccidiosis is well recognized as causing a diarrhoeal and often lethal illness in animals it has been neglected as a cause of disease in man. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Intestinal coccidiosis in a 6-mo-old infant terminated fatally after 30 wk of continuous total parenteral nutrition, and proved refractory to treatment with antibiotics, hydrocortisone, and antimetabolic agents. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

However, the efficacy of treatment for clinical coccidiosis has not been demonstrated for any drug, although it is widely accepted that treatment is effective against reinfection and should therefore facilitate recovery. [merckmanuals.com]

With treatment, the prognosis is good. The condition or disease described in this medical article can affect both dogs and cats. If you would like to learn more about how this disease affects cats, please visit this page in the PetMD health library. [petmd.com]

Treatment is routine and effective. Diagnosis is made by low-powered microscopic examination of the feces, which is generally replete with oocysts. [en.wikipedia.org]

Treatment Toltrazuril, Sulphonamides, Amprolium, in feed or water. Prevention Coccidiostats in feed, vaccination by controlled exposure, hygiene. Immunity is quite short lived (about 30 days) in the absence of continued challenge. Figure 12. [thepoultrysite.com]

Etiology Almost all cattle are exposed to coccidia, especially the highly pathogenic Eimeria bovis and Eimeria zurnii. The majority of cattle exposures result only in subclinical infections that cause mild diarrhea or no clinical signs at all. [corid.com]

Etiology: Eimeria are eukaryotic, one-celled parasites. Eimeria intestinalis, E. magna, E. irresidua, and E. flavescens are regarded as the most pathogenic species. [dora.missouri.edu]

Prevention is based on limiting the intake of sporulated oocysts by young animals so that an infection is established to induce immunity but not clinical signs. [merckmanuals.com]

Prevention Coccidiostats in feed, vaccination by controlled exposure, hygiene. Immunity is quite short lived (about 30 days) in the absence of continued challenge. Figure 12. Moderate Eimeria acervulina infection (score 2) in chicken duodenum. [thepoultrysite.com]

It also provides support for the liver and kidneys to keep functioning and prevent organ shut down, as well as the slowing of heart rate. By then, pet owners should also consider special treatment for puppies under such condition. [coccidiaindogs.com]

The most effective way to manage coccidial infections is a combination of preventive and treatment measures. References 1. Quigley J. Calf Note #17 — A review of coccidiosis in calves. Available at: . Accessed May 15, 2009. 2. [corid.com]
