		Coccidia appear to be confined' to four great phyla, Vertebrates, 1 A curious organism, parasitic in a gregarine, has lately been described by Dogiel as a coccidian, and termed Hyalosphaera.
		The Coccidia, as a whole, have not developed the phenomenon of association of the sexual individuals prior to gamete-formation which is so characteristic of Gregarines.
		In place of many female elements, which the primitive or ancestral forms may be assumed to have had,2 there is always, save possibly for one exception, 3 only a single relatively huge megagamete formed, which offers a comparatively easy goal for one of the many microgametes.

		However, the presence of coccidia in the intestines of an individual does not mean the animal is actually suffering from coccidiosis.
		Coccidia only cause disease when their numbers become so great that pathological damage is done to the host.
		It was thought for many years that the coccidia of sheep and goats were interchangeable between those species, but now it appears that most, if not all, coccidia species are unique to their host.

	Coccidia in the Intestines, Liver (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Coccidia are microscopic, one-celled protozoal parasites that affect the intestinal tract and liver of rabbits as well as other animals.
		Coccidia are the most common parasites of the rabbit's gastrointestinal tract and a common cause of illness in young rabbits.
		There are 12 species of rabbit coccidia reported to infect rabbits, but only a very few of these are important from a disease standpoint and, then, the rabbit's immune system may have to be compromised, or two or more species of coccidia present to create a disease situation.

		By far, the largest family in the suborder, Eimeriidae Minchin, 1903, with 17 genera and ~1700 species (this database) is the group that we are working to resolve on a global scale.
		(2) The coccidia have a complex life cycle that includes 3 sequential stages: endogenous merogony and gamogony followed by sporogony which is exogenous.
		This complexity resulted in various stages of the same coccidian species being described as different species, or even placed in different higher taxa (genera to suborders), before their basic life history was understood.

	CORID: Disease Management (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Coccidia are very host specific—that is, coccidia which affect cattle do not affect birds, and vice versa.
		Examinations for coccidia are made by collecting fecal samples and mixing with a concentrated sugar solution to cause the coccidia to float to the surface where they can be recovered for microscopic examination.
		Furthermore, later treatment may not be as effective, since the sexual stages of the life cycle of coccidia are generally not as sensitive to coccidiostats as the earlier asexual stages.

	Natural Coccidia Treatment Remedy
		Coccidia are small protozoans that multiply in the intestinal tracts of dogs and cats, most commonly in kittens and puppies less than 6 months of age, in adult animals whose immune system is suppressed or in animals who are stressed in other ways (i.e., change in ownership, other disease present).
		However, once born, the puppy or kitten is frequently exposed to its mother's feces and if the mother is shedding the infective cysts in her feces then the young animals will likely ingest them and coccidia will develop in their intestines.
		Most puppies and kittens who are ill from coccidia are, therefore, two weeks of age and older.

	Coccidia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		One of the most prevalent canine coccidia is S. tenella and during autopsies of dead animals appears as microscopic muscle cysts in the host animal.
		Oocysts in the feces of dogs are also microscopic in size and can only be positively identified through lab tests or direct observation under a microscope. Diagnosis usually is obvious but confusion does exist – apparently normal animals can also have oocysts present in their feces.
		It is therefore important that rigorous disinfection is maintained and a careful check is kept on the condition of all treated and introduced animals.

	Panorama Lofts - Coccidia and Racing Performance - A Small Survey ( Dr Gordon A. Chalmers )
		In general, it is known that a few coccidia in the intestines of any species cause very little harm, and are useful in stimulating the immune system to remain alert.
		The situation resembles a classical stand-off, in which, on one hand, the coccidia are prevented by an active immune system, from multiplying and causing disease.
		As pointed out by Frank Harper, the most significant feature associated with coccidia in his experience, is not the actual "cocci count", but rather, is likely related to any change, that is, an increase or decrease in the total count.

	Protozoan Poultry Diseases
		Chickens are susceptible to any of nine coccidia species, turkeys are susceptible to seven species and quail are susceptible to at least four different species of coccidia.
		The number of infective coccidia consumed by the host is a primary factor as to the severity of the resulting infection.
		Definite diagnosis is made from the microscopic examination of scrapings of the digestive tract and identification of the coccidia organisms.

		In general, the disease caused by coccidia varies not only with the state of the host, but with the species of coccidia, the degree of parasitism, and the site of infection.
		Bradyzoites are released from the cysts in the feline stomach and penetrate the epithelial cell of the small intestine.
		The life cycle differs from most coccidia in that the oocysts are sporulated when passed in the feces.

		You can never expect to completely "kill off" coccidia but with proper treatment protocols, you can control it quite effectively and avoid placing puppies who will be carriers and cause the problem for others.
		With Coccidia, the stools are filled with yellowish mucous before progressing to foul smelling, bloody stools.
		There is no proof that this is because of coccidia (as usual the fecals always run clear), but in the litters I do treat, I have had no diarrhea and the puppies have been very healthy.
