A subclass of protozoans commonly parasitic in the epithelial cells of the intestinal tract but also found in the liver and other organs. Its organisms are found in both vertebrates and higher invertebrates and comprise two orders: EIMERIIDA and EUCOCCIDIIDA.
A genus of protozoan parasites of the subclass COCCIDIA. Various species are parasitic in the epithelial cells of the liver and intestines of man and other animals.
Protozoan infection found in animals and man. It is caused by several different genera of COCCIDIA.
A large family of parasites in the order EIMERIIDA. They cause COCCIDIOSIS in a number of vertebrates including humans.
A genus of protozoan parasites found in the intestines of birds, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals, including man. The oocysts produce two sporocysts, each with four sporozoites. Many species are parasitic in wild and domestic animals.
An anticoccidial agent mainly for poultry.
Agents useful in the treatment or prevention of COCCIDIOSIS in man or animals.
Zygote-containing cysts of sporozoan protozoa. Further development in an oocyst produces small individual infective organisms called SPOROZOITES. Then, depending on the genus, the entire oocyst is called a sporocyst or the oocyst contains multiple sporocysts encapsulating the sporozoites.
A genus of protozoa found in reptiles, birds, and mammals, including humans. This heteroxenous parasite produces muscle cysts in intermediate hosts such as domestic herbivores (cattle, sheep, pigs) and rodents. Final hosts are predators such as dogs, cats, and man.
A species of coccidian protozoa that mainly infects domestic poultry.
Diseases of birds which are raised as a source of meat or eggs for human consumption and are usually found in barnyards, hatcheries, etc. The concept is differentiated from BIRD DISEASES which is for diseases of birds not considered poultry and usually found in zoos, parks, and the wild.
Excrement from the INTESTINES, containing unabsorbed solids, waste products, secretions, and BACTERIA of the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM.
A genus of protozoa parasitic to birds and mammals. T. gondii is one of the most common infectious pathogenic animal parasites of man.
Common name for the species Gallus gallus, the domestic fowl, in the family Phasianidae, order GALLIFORMES. It is descended from the red jungle fowl of SOUTHEAST ASIA.

Cyclospora: an enigma worth unraveling. (1/87)

In part, Cyclospora cayetanensis owes its recognition as an emerging pathogen to the increased use of staining methods for detecting enteric parasites such as Cryptosporidium. First reported in patients in New Guinea in 1977 but thought to be a coccidian parasite of the genus Isospora, C. cayetanensis received little attention until it was again described in 1985 in New York and Peru. In the early 1990s, human infection associated with waterborne transmission of C. cayetanensis was suspected; foodborne transmission was likewise suggested in early studies. The parasite was associated with several disease outbreaks in the United States during 1996 and 1997. This article reviews current knowledge about C. cayetanensis (including its association with waterborne and foodborne transmission), unresolved issues, and research needs.  (+info)

Cyclosporiasis: clinical and histopathologic correlates. (2/87)

Although the histopathologic changes associated with Cyclospora cayetanensis infection have been previously described, the histopathology and the appearance of various life cycle stages have not been correlated with severity, stage, and duration of clinical disease. We report a prospective clinical investigation of disease characteristics and histopathologic findings in three otherwise healthy, immunocompetent patients with symptomatic C. cayetanensis infection, the duration of which ranged from 6 to 60 days. Varying degrees of gross and microscopic gastrointestinal inflammation were seen before treatment. An electron-dense phospholipid membrane/myelin-like material was variably present both before and after treatment. The greatest amount of myelin-like material was seen in the patient with prolonged disease. The results of our study suggest that inflammatory changes associated with C. cayetanensis infection may persist beyond parasite eradication. It is intriguing to speculate that the myelin-like material is a marker for persistent inflammation, but further study and confirmation are needed.  (+info)

Morphologic and molecular characterization of new Cyclospora species from Ethiopian monkeys: C. cercopitheci sp.n., C. colobi sp.n., and C. papionis sp.n. (3/87)

In recent years, human cyclosporiasis has emerged as an important infection, with large outbreaks in the United States and Canada. Understanding the biology and epidemiology of Cyclospora has been difficult and slow and has been complicated by not knowing the pathogen s origins, animal reservoirs (if any), and relationship to other coccidian parasites. This report provides morphologic and molecular characterization of three parasites isolated from primates and names each isolate: Cyclospora cercopitheci sp.n. for a species recovered from green monkeys, C. colobi sp.n. for a parasite from colobus monkeys, and C. papionis sp.n. for a species infecting baboons. These species, plus C. cayetanensis, which infects humans, increase to four the recognized species of Cyclospora infecting primates. These four species group homogeneously as a single branch intermediate between avian and mammalian Eimeria. Results of our analysis contribute toward clarification of the taxonomic position of Cyclospora and its relationship to other coccidian parasites.  (+info)

Extraction-free, filter-based template preparation for rapid and sensitive PCR detection of pathogenic parasitic protozoa. (4/87)

Within the last several years, the protozoan parasites Cyclospora cayetanensis, Cryptosporidium parvum, and microsporidia have become recognized as important, rapidly emerging human pathogens in immunocompromised and immunocompetent individuals. Since the early 1990s, many of the reported outbreaks of enteric illness caused by these microorganisms have been attributed to food- and water-borne contamination. Many inherent obstacles affect the success of current surveillance and detection methods used to monitor and control levels of contamination by these pathogens. Unlike methods that incorporate preenrichment for easier and unambiguous identification of bacterial pathogens, similar methods for the detection of parasitic protozoa either are not currently available or cannot be performed in a timely manner. We have developed an extraction-free, filter-based protocol to prepare DNA templates for use in PCR to identify C. cayetanensis and C. parvum oocysts and microsporidia spores. This method requires only minimal preparation to partially purify and concentrate isolates prior to filter application. DNA template preparation is rapid, efficient, and reproducible. As few as 3 to 10 parasites could be detected by PCR from direct application to the filters. In studies, as few 10 to 50 Encephalitozoon intestinalis spores could be detected when seeded in a 100-microliter stool sample and 10 to 30 C. cayetanensis oocysts could be detected per 100 g of fresh raspberries. This protocol can easily be adapted to detect parasites from a wide variety of food, clinical, and environmental samples and can be used in multiplex PCR applications.  (+info)

A gel delivery system for coccidiosis vaccine: uniformity of distribution of oocysts. (5/87)

A patented gel delivery system being used to deliver coccidiosis vaccine to poultry hatchlings is assessed. For effective vaccination, the coccidial oocysts must be uniformly suspended before exposure to birds. The uniformity of distribution within the gel was evaluated by incorporating a culture of chicken gut flora into gel sausages, placing sections of the sausage on culture plates, determining the appearance and distribution of bacterial colonies on culture plates after incubation, and verifying by cell counts. The uniformity of distribution of similarly prepared coccidial oocysts was verified by infecting birds with 40,000 Eimeria tenella oocysts delivered via the gel. Gel-inoculated birds were compared with control birds inoculated PO with 40,000 oocysts suspended in water by using cecal lesion scores. Both the appearance and colony counts of chicken gut flora from the gel were uniform. The standard deviation in the lesion scores for the gel-inoculated group and the water-inoculated groups were 0.51 and 0.69, respectively. The results indicate that a gel delivery system can provide uniform distribution of live organisms and vaccine agents to birds.  (+info)

An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for diagnosis of American canine hepatozoonosis. (6/87)

American canine hepatozoonosis (ACH), caused by Hepatozoon americanum, is an emerging tick-borne disease of dogs. An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that should facilitate diagnosis of infection and study of the epidemiology of ACH has been developed using H. americanum sporozoites as antigen. Efficacy of the new test as a diagnostic tool was compared with that of skeletal muscle biopsy, the current gold standard for confirming H. americanum infection. Results show that the test is sensitive (93%) and specific (96%) and that it is as reliable as histopathologic examination of skeletal muscle for detecting infection. The ELISA would be suitable as a routine laboratory test for diagnosis of ACH.  (+info)

On the current existence of a coccidial line of development in the malaria parasites: a theory. (7/87)

Most opinion favors the origin of the malaria parasites from a coccidial ancestor. It is assumed that whatever the process through which the coccidia differentiated into a Plasmodium this phenomenon very probably occurred millions of year ago, and during that differentiation process the original coccidia vanished. Therefore it has never been repeated. At the light of some experiments the existence, at the present time, of a coccidial cycle of development in the malaria parasites, is proposed. The connection routes and mechanisms through which the malaria parasite changes to a coccidial life, and the routes in reverse are exposed. Transmission of the malaria-coccidial forms is suggested.  (+info)

Parasitology: United Kingdom National Quality Assessment Scheme. (8/87)

AIMS: To assess the results from parasitology laboratories taking part in a quality assessment scheme between 1986 and 1991; and to compare performance with repeat specimens. METHODS: Quality assessment of blood parasitology, including tissue parasites (n = 444; 358 UK, 86 overseas), and faecal parasitology, including extra-intestinal parasites (n = 205; 141 UK, 64 overseas), was performed. RESULTS: Overall, the standard of performance was poor. A questionnaire distributed to participants showed that a wide range of methods was used, some of which were considered inadequate to achieve reliable results. Teaching material was distributed to participants from time to time in an attempt to improve standards. CONCLUSIONS: Since the closure of the IMLS fellowship course in 1972, fewer opportunities for specialised training in parasitology are available: more training is needed. Poor performance in the detection of malarial parasites is mainly attributable to incorrect speciation, misidentification, and lack of equipment such as an eyepiece graticule.  (+info)

I have his lab results as well I just dont know how to post them. His Coccidia count is the same as it was from when he was 2 months. My normal vet is out of the country so I saw his associate. She is very nice and forward with not treating exotics typically. Shes been contacting people and doing as much research as she could which led her to treating it with ponazuril. Im beginning to believe my normal vet didnt treat the Coccidia because it was low and after reading his chart there was no treatment done except for ones for his other two parasites. Pin worms (Panacur) and another one Im not familiar with. He was very little (18 grams) and had a URI at the same time so it was very scary and a lot to take in. My mom also had to take him because it is a two hour drive and I was at work when I decided something was up. Thanks in advance I just want to provide him with the best care possible.

Study on Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Nematodes and Coccidian Parasites Affecting Cattle in West Arsi zone, Ormia Regional State, Ethiopia Abstract.
While coccidia can infect a wide variety of animals, including humans, birds and livestock, they are usually species-specific. One well-known exception is toxoplasmosis caused by Toxoplasma gondii: humans may become infected with this parasite while handling infected pets, especially cats, or their feces.. In the past, diagnosis of coccidian infections relied on fecal float, a technique which is relatively insensitive and not very precise. However, molecular detection by polymerase chain reaction is rapid, highly sensitive and highly specific (Lalonde and Gajadhar, 2011 ...

What are the symptoms?. In cats, it causes diarrhea. The stool is often highly liquid in consistency. You may also see blood in the stool, as they cause damage to the intestines. The cat may get dehydrated as a result of the diarrhea.. Is it serious?. Yes - a cat will get dehydrated from the diarrhea and may lose blood. It makes the pet very ill and susceptible to other infections, and sometimes they die if they get sick from something else at the same time. You need to take the pet to the vet, because it is easily treatable, but it can take a week for them to get over it. What is the treatment? There are a couple of treatments. Antibiotics are often used, as well as coccidiostats, which are medicines designed to help the cats immune system fight back specifically against coccidia. Keeping the cat hydrated is also very important. Albon is one of the most commonly used drugs against it. Is it contagious to other pets or to people?.

What Is a Fecal Smear?. A fecal smear (sometimes called a direct fecal smear) is a diagnostic test that helps identify possible causes of diarrhea in a cat or dog. It is generally conducted in combination with a fecal flotation test, which is used to screen for intestinal parasite eggs.. With a direct fecal smear, a thin film of feces is examined under a microscope for evidence of Giardia, a protozoan parasite that can cause diarrhea. A fecal smear can also be used to identify cellular abnormalities, bacterial or fungal organisms, and in some cases, parasite eggs.. How Is the Test Performed?. The key to a good fecal smear is to start with as fresh a sample as possible. Since Giardia is identified by observing the organism swimming across the slide, a direct fecal smear should be examined within 30 minutes of collection, before the organisms die or disappear.. If you are unable to obtain a fresh sample, your veterinarian can usually retrieve a specimen with a gloved finger or an instrument called ...
The host immune system is a naturally occurring selection pressure that constantly influences the dynamics of the coccidia population in poultry houses. Less immunogenic coccidial species and strains that have the ability to evade the host immune system will have a higher survival percentage over the life of the flock. The immune response can vary greatly between different poultry breeds and/or strains. This is why the breed/strain, age and sex of the host (bird) can have a dramatic effect on the level of coccidia that is shed in a poultry house ...
There are a couple of sulfur medications and other drugs that can kill the coccidia parasite in young puppies. But we like to suggest an alternative medication in place of drugs. And in this case, COTTAGE CHEESE is handy in keeping the parasite away! Cottage cheese result to a change in pH level of the intestines making it unfavorable for the coccidia parasite.. This works perfectly and poses no side effects as it is common with sulfur drugs. Young puppies weighing at most 10 pounds should be given half level spoonful (spoon used for coffee/cereal) twice every day, morning and evening. Doing this repeatedly for seven days will keep the parasite away. For older dogs weighing 15 to 20 pounds, provide them with a spoonful in the morning and evening together with meals. Doing this for ten days is enough to kill the parasite.. For dogs weighing 20 to 30 pounds, two spoonfuls twice a day for ten days is enough. But generally, any milk product in large amounts is not good for your dog as it can result ...
The development of the intestine and early establishment of commensal bacteria is important for rapid growth and enteric disease resistance of the modern broiler. Three studies measured the impact of yeast derivatives in diets of broilers. The objective of the first study was to determine if yeast products alone or in combination effected performance or gut morphology of broilers during a mild coccidia challenge. Day-old Cobb 500 chicks were placed in floor pens on litter seeded with coccidia and fed diets with or without yeast products. The objectives of the second and third studies were to 1) evaluate the effect of feeding cecal droppings collected from heavy (HW) or low weight (LW) broilers on performance and 2) to determine if dietary supplementation with yeast derivatives would effect growth and gut morphology in broilers fed the cecal droppings from HW or LW populations. Cobb 500 chicks were divided into two groups (HW or LW microflora; n=1400/group) and given access to the cecal droppings ...

There were 11 (10.5%) individuals with Cryptosporidium-sp-positive fecal samples, one in G1, three in G2, and seven in G3; there were no significant differences among groups (p,0.05). It is noteworthy that the number of oocysts was small in all individuals who tested positive for Cryptosporidium sp. Diarrhea was found in 12 (11.4%) individuals. There was no significant difference among groups (p,0.05); however, there was a higher tendency towards diarrhea in G1 and G2. Five out of the 12 individuals with diarrhea tested positive for Cryptosporidium sp. Only seven (6.7%) individuals lived in the rural zone; all cases of Cryptosporidium sp were in feces from urban zone dwellers.. DISCUSSION. In Brazil, AIDS has predominantly affected men since the beginning of the epidemic, a fact also noticed in the current study.

Mixed enteric infections were studied in gnotobiotic lambs and conventional calves. Clinical infections were established by inoculation of gnotobiotic lambs with either ETEC, Cryptosporidium sp or lamb rotavirus at less than 2 days of age. At 4 days of age or older only subclinical infections could be established using either ETEC, rota¬ virus or ETEC and rotavirus. Clinical infections were induced with Cryptosporidium sp either on its own or in conjunction with ETEC or rotavirus in gnotobiotic lambs 6 days of age or older. There was no evidence from these experiments to suggest that Crypto¬ sporidium sp or lamb rotavirus enhanced the pathogenic effect of ETEC in 4 to 7-day-old gnotobiotic ...
Coccidiosis is a parasitic disease of the intestinal tract of animals caused by coccidian protozoa. The disease spreads from one animal to another by contact with infected feces or ingestion of infected tissue. Diarrhea, which may become bloody in severe cases, is the primary symptom. Most animals infected with coccidia are asymptomatic, but young or immunocompromised animals may suffer severe symptoms and death. While coccidia can infect a wide variety of animals, including humans, birds, and livestock, they are usually species-specific. One well-known exception is toxoplasmosis caused by Toxoplasma gondii. Humans may first encounter coccidia when they acquire a puppy or kitten that is infected. Other than T. gondii, the infectious organisms are canine and feline-specific and are not contagious to humans, unlike the zoonotic diseases. Puppies are frequently infected with coccidia from the feces of their mother, and are more likely to develop coccidiosis due to their undeveloped immune systems. ...

Hepatozoon garnhami n. comb. was redescribed from Schokari sand snakes (Psammophis schokari) collected from Riyadh city in Saudi Arabia. Gametocytes were found in the peripheral blood of 2 of 15 snakes examined. Based on the similar morphological and morphometric characteristics, the same host and a similar host habitat environment, it can be concluded for the first time that the present species is conspecific with Haemogregarina garnhami previously reported from Psammophis shokari aegyptius. To further characterize this parasite, the partial 18S rRNA gene was amplified and sequenced. The sequence analysis also showed that Haemogregarina garnhami should be reassigned into the genus Hepatozoon as Hepatozoon garnhami which has 99.5% (859/863 bp) sequence similarity to Hepatozoon ayorgbor, infecting the erythrocytes of Python regius in Ghana. Phylogenetic analysis showed that H. garnhami formed a mixed clade with Hepatozoon spp. from geckos, snakes and rodents and ophidian Hepatozoon spp. did not ...

Members of the genus Hepatozoon possess particularly complex lifecycles which vary considerably among species. Sexual reproduction and sporogenic development occur within the haemocoel of the invertebrate host, which is subsequently consumed by the vertebrate host. The sporozoites then migrate to the liver of the vertebrate, where they undergo multiple fission (asexual reproduction) to produce merozoites. The meronts are released into the bloodstream where they form gametocytes, the final stage of development within the vertebrate host. The gamonts are large, conspicuous organisms which occupy a significant portion of the erythrocyte, and are easily visible on simple blood films. When the invertebrate vector feeds on the blood of the infected vertebrate, the gamonts are taken up into the gut once more, where they undergo gametogenesis and the cycle begins once more. This simplified lifecycle is, of course, insufficient for species which infect vertebrate and invertebrate hosts which do not ...
Coccidiosis can be treated in dogs. If detected in an advanced stage, it may be deadly, especially in puppies or dogs with a weak immune system.. The treatment typically consists of a sulfa based antibiotic that will stop the development cycle of the coccidia parasites. Albon or Tribissen are the typical choices when it comes to treating coccidiosis. The treatment is prescribed for several weeks, to make sure that all the parasites and eggs are shed. In some cases, the vet may choose to administer several courses of treatment. Sulfa based antibiotics are not recommended in pregnant or lactating dogs, as the drugs can cause birth defects.. IV fluids and hospitalization will be required for puppies in critical condition or if the infection is advanced. Natural remedies can also be used to speed up the recovery time and re-establish the balance in the intestinal tract. ...

To further back up our assumptions based on our own findings, there was one study of pathogen-related diarrhea 1 that showed 68% of tested shelter dogs with diarrhea were positive for giardia and 15% for coccidia. Of shelter cats with diarrhea, 11% tested positive for coccidia, but the majority tested negative for all viral and protozoal pathogens.. This study did not test for parasites such as roundworms, hookworms or whipworms which are very common in young animals, and even with negative fecal examinations and deworming, they should be considered highly possible to be present.. Statistical analysis of the causes of diarrhea is important because it shapes how a shelter can treat the group in the most efficient and cost effective way possible. If a large majority of the animals who have diarrhea are likely to be suffering from the same cause, then that treatment should be the first line of defense against diarrhea in all dogs and cats for the sake of efficiency and lifesaving. For most ...

Kittens eat well as long as the food is tasty. Kittens fed a variety of flavors tend to be less selective eaters as adults. Avoid generic or unknown brands of food, and stick with the tried and true commercial and premium brands. If there is a dog or two in your household menagerie, it is imperative that your kitten not consume any significant amount of dog food. Cats have a unique requirement for taurine, an amino acid found in insufficient quantity in dog food. Taurine deficiency can lead to blindness and severe heart disease. Do not give milk to kittens, as it is likely to give them diarrhea. Avoid table scraps, as these can unbalance your kittens balanced diet, and can turn him into a finicky cat later on in life. Kittens that are being fed a complete and balanced diet do not need supplementary vitamins and minerals.

Over the last two weeks or so, the weather has finally become good and grass growth rates are on the rise. This, in turn, has seen the majority of farmers let their ewes and lambs out to pasture and take their minds off what has been a terrible February and most of March in terms of weather. However, despite the good weather, two parasites known as coccidia and Nematodirus can cause problems for young lambs at this time of the year. These parasites can affect lambs at a similar age and stage of the year and can have serious health implications - in some cases leading to death - in lambs ...
Gastrointestinal (GI) parasites include any parasites that live in the stomach or intestines of a host. A variety of GI parasites affect dogs and cats. They range from roundworms and tapeworms, which are visible with the naked eye, to microscopic organisms like coccidia and Giardia. Regardless of their size, GI parasites can cause serious illness and sometimes even death in pets. Some parasites are zoonotic, which means humans can become infected.. Read More ...
And then they made a discovery.....Rapunzel has coccidia. Which means all the kittens have it too. It is an internal parasite so the kittens are on meds. And they are a HOT MESS!!! The parasite and the meds gives them the runs and while they are being very good about getting to the box, they are still pretty messy. Add to that the fact that they are eating canned and are getting that all over themselves and each other...... lets just say we suspect mom is going to spend an evening this week in there with the kittens and the shower will get involved. :) Mom has an old pair of flip flops in a bag by the door she uses when she is in there too ...
It took a while to get the diagnosis (they were suffering from both tapeworms and coccidia). While we awaited the results of the lab tests, Batcat gave up eating at one point and had to have fluids injected and be syringe fed every few hours, and all four kittens suffered from such severe diarrhea that they were covered in poop all the time and needed to be bathed several times each day. We started having kitten cleaning parties, with various friends coming over to help with washing and drying (kittens can become dangerously chilled after a bath, so they need to be dried and warmed thoroughly afterward).. The kittens were becoming quite dehydrated and increasingly weak from the diarrhea, even though they were eating and drinking a lot and we were adding water to their food. Kittens can go downhill very fast due to a variety of health issues. Fortunately, once we had the diagnosis, they were prescribed medications that sorted the problems out within 48 hours, and the group were soon on the mend, ...

Most commonly, a cat vomits because it has hairballs. To check for this, examine the vomit carefully for small grayish pellets or lumps (it doesnt matter what color your cats hair is). If these are present, then hairballs is the problem. Hairballs occur even with shorthair cats. All cats benefit from regular brushing to help minimize shedding and ingestion of hair. If your cat is vomiting because of hairballs, its normal behavior is not affected. That is, it will be its usual self immediately before and after vomiting.. To help prevent this kind of vomiting, feed your cat on a regular basis some petroleum jelly (aka as Vaseline). If they dont like it, you can try Petromalt, a malt-flavored petroleum jelly. Pats of butter will also work. To give it to them, if they wont eat it of their free will, smear some on top of their paw and they will lick it up as they clean it off. Be careful to rub it in thoroughly, otherwise when they shake their paw, youll have gobs of vaseline go flying onto the ...
