Coccidiosis is a protozoal and occasionally fatal diarrheic disease of goats imposing heavy economic losses to farming community. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacies of Furazolidone, Sulfadimidine and Amprolium against coccidiosis in Beetal goats. Twenty-four (24) Beetal goats naturally infected with coccidiosis were randomly divided into four groups of 6 (A-D). Goats in groups A, B and...

This report describes a case of granulomatous endometritis caused by coccidiosis in an immunologically uncompromised 63 year old patient. The glandular epithelium of the endometrium contained numerous intracytoplasmic cysts, corresponding to periodic acid Schiff positive and methenamine silver negative sporoblasts. The endometrial glands revealed reactive phenomena, such as eosinophilic and squ...

The survey was conducted to examine poultry production and determine causes of poultry losses in a communal area of Zimbabwe. Qualitative data were obtained using participatory rural appraisal (PRA) techniques, while quantitative data were captured through a structured questionnaire administered to 416 households. The majority (68%) of the farmers in the study kept indigenous chickens and the r...

Associations between the parameters of resistance to coccidiosis and SNP in 3 candidate genes located on chromosome 1 [T cell receptor-beta (TCR-beta), myeloid leukemia factor 2 (MLF2), and lymphotactin] were determined. Single nucleotide polymorphisms were genotyped in 24 F1 generation and 290 F2 generation birds. Four SNP were identified in the lymphotactin gene, 12 were located in the TCR-be...

*'IT IS PROBABLE that coccidia cause greater economic loss among domesticated animals of the temperate zone than any other group of protozoa." Thus Becker ^ aptly indicated the importance of coccidiosis, the specific disease caused by these protozoan parasites. It may be added that the coccidia probably cause greater economic loss among chickens alone than among all other domesticated animals c...

calf is placed in an individual pen, 5 by I o by 3 feet, where it remains until it is 4 to 6 months old, depending on the size of the calf. Moving the calf and its pen, preferably uphill, once each week, takes the calf away from its contamination before too many of the oöcysts sporulate. The calves are not completely freed of infection, but they swallow enough oöcysts to get slight, nonclinical...

The main goal of current study was to investigate the prevalence of coccidiosis in broiler farms in Hamedan province, western Iran. Chicks and fecal samples were collected in all of the 220 broiler farms in this region. All viscera were examined for gross pathological changes. The mucosa of small intestine and the caeca were examined for the presence and identification of parasitic forms using ...

Bo\^NE COCCIDIOSIS is an infectious disease of cattle, known in its spectacular form as bloody scours or red diarrhea because of the characteristic bloody fecal discharges seen in severe cases. The disease is of economic importance in many parts of the world, including the United States {1, 12, 15).^ To the outright loss from fatal infections, which may take a heavy toll among calves, must be a...
