This presentation reports of a case of disseminated visceral coccidiosis (DVC) in a 4-month old captive white-naped crane (Grus vipio) in The Netherlands. Based on this case a review is presented describing macroscopic and histopathologic changes, therapeutic possibilities It also presents experimental derived information about the cycle of Eimeria gruis and E. reichenowi, as well as molecular ...

Disseminated visceral coccidiosis (DVC) was unexpectedly recognized in a wild white-naped crane (Grus vipio) killed by phosphamidon insecticide. On gross pathologic examination, widely disseminated white nodules were found on the serosa of the pro-ventriculus, gizzard, and intestine, as well as on the surface and in the parenchyma of liver, spleen, and cardiac muscle. Microscopically, asexual s...

Coccidiosis, caused by protozoa of the genus Eimeria, results in health and economic problems to several classes of livestock. The disease reduces feed consumption, body weight, and feed efficiency and may cause mortality of 24% in some cases (Fitzgerald, 1975). An estimated 77 million young cattle in the United States could be infected by coccidia during the first year of their life. Of these,...

A detailed study on rabbit coccidiosis in a subtropical hilly region of India regarding prevalence, intensity of infections, species involved and control measures adopted during mortality in a rabbit farm due to coccidiosis, was undertaken for awareness of the rabbit owners of the hilly region. Overall 57.28% rabbits were found positive for coccidial infections. Mortality in rabbit was diagnose...
