Coccidiosos is an infection caused by a protozoan, and it is found in most environments. However, the coccidiosis vaccine administered in the U.S. is unattenuated, meaning it is not weakened in any way, and can actually cause illness and retarded growth.

What is coccidiosis in poultry?
Coccidiosis is a poultry disease caused by a microscopic animal or protozoa characterized by diarrhea, listlessness and variable levels of mortality in the affected birds. In spite of research to advance the control and treatments of this disease, it is the single most costly disease of the poultry industry. There are many species of Coccidia that can infect fowl, domestic animals and humans. Each species is host specific and does not usually cross contaminate. After an outbreak of specific coccidiosis, the flock will develop a resistance to the exposed species of coccidia but remain none resistant to others. This means a flock may experience several outbreaks of varient species. Chickens are susceptable to nine coccidia species, turkeys to seven and game birds to four. Coccidiosis is transmitted by direct and indirect contact with the droppings of infected birds. The organisms invade the lining of the intestinal tract and damage tissue. Within one week of infection the Coccidia shed immature descendants through the bird droppings and mature in the birds litter. If the litter is warm and damp it takes three days to develop and when eaten by other birds while they feed, go on to infect the flock. Coccidiosis is seldom seen in birds under three weeks old nor in birds older than three years. The signs of an outbreak include birds that are pale, droopy, tend to huddle as if cold, consume less food and water than usual. They have diarrhea and often become emaciated and dehydrated. Laying hens with Coccidiosis will drop egg production
