Abstract

The article discusses problems associated with the significant spread of unicellular protozoal pathogens of large and small cattle, buffaloes and other farm animals. Eimeriid intestinal Coccidia of the genera Cryptosporidim and Eimeria, cyst-forming Coccidia of the genus Sarcocystis affect more than half of farm animals of different ages, which cause significant harm to livestock. The symptoms of various coccidiosis are described - eimeriosis, cryptosporidiosis and sarcocystosis. Measures are proposed to prevent and combat the spread of coccidiosis pathogens.

 Keywords: Eimeriid Coccidia (Cryptosporidim, Eimeria, Sarcocystis); Coccidiosis; Spread and Prevention
