coccidiosis
Let an agent explain coccidiosis in general terms, relay parasites, hosts, transmission, veterinary control and human infections from veterinary and public health sources, route dehydration and immunocompromised illness to medical care, describe the named forms, and distinguish coccidiosis from bacterial and viral diarrhoea, giardiasis, toxoplasmosis and malaria as other apicomplexan diseases.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

What it is Filled
A group of intestinal infections caused by coccidian protozoan parasites, most importantly in animals, where Eimeria species cause avian coccidiosis in poultry and bovine coccidiosis in cattle with diarrhoea and economic losses, and also affect parrots and other birds; in humans related coccidian infections include cryptosporidiosis caused by Cryptosporidium, cystoisosporiasis caused by Cystoisospora belli and cyclosporiasis, which can be severe and prolonged in people with advanced HIV, as the registry aliases name. Transmission is faecal-oral through contaminated food, water and environments, and Cryptosporidium is resistant to chlorine, so outbreaks are linked to swimming pools and water supplies. Severe or persistent diarrhoea with dehydration needs medical care.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent explain coccidiosis in general terms, relay parasites, hosts, transmission, veterinary control and human infections from veterinary and public health sources, route dehydration and immunocompromised illness to medical care, describe the named forms, and distinguish coccidiosis from bacterial and viral diarrhoea, giardiasis, toxoplasmosis and malaria as other apicomplexan diseases.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Protozoan parasites
- Faecal-oral spread
