Unravelling the sexual developmental biology of Cystoisospora suis, a model for comparative coccidian parasite studies [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023 IntroductionThe apicomplexan parasite Cystoisospora suis has global significance as an enteropathogen of suckling piglets. Its intricate life cycle entails a transition from an asexual phase to sexual development, ultimately leading to the formation of ...

Occurrence of the coccidium Isospora suis in piglets [PDF]
Veterinární Medicína, 2005 In the period October 2002-September 2004 we examined 2 996 samples of faeces of piglets at the age of 2-47 days. Samples were collected as so called "composite" ones from the pen floor. Samplings were done in 8 herds in Ceske Budejovice district.

Factors associated with the occurrence and level of
BMC Veterinary Research, 2012 Background Piglet isosporosis is one of the most common parasitic diseases in modern pig production. To prevent clinical disease, prophylactic treatment of piglets with toltrazuril (BAYCOX® 5%, Bayer HealthCare, Animal Health, Monheim, Germany) is widely

Deciphering the code of resistance: a genomic and transcriptomic exploration of the Cystoisospora suis Holland-I strain [PDF]
Scientific ReportsCystoisospora suis, a member of the apicomplexan order Coccidia and causative agent of neonatal porcine coccidiosis, poses a challenge to pig production due to the emergence of reduced efficacy of toltrazuril, the only EU-approved treatment.

Shedding of oocysts in piglets experimentally infected with Isospora suis. [PDF]
Acta Vet Scand, 1994 Forty-seven piglets were inoculated with doses of 100 to 50,000 sporulated oocysts of Isospora suis. After 5-7 days oocysts were found in faeces. The patent period extended from 8 to 16 days. The shedding of oocysts showed a cyclic pattern with 2-3 peaks separated by intervals of approximately 5 days. Subpatent periods were often seen between the peaks.

Experimental Infection of Swine by Isospora suis Biester 1934 for Species Confirmation [PDF]
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1998 A survey of Isospora suis performed in 177 faecal samples from 30 swine farms detected thin wall type I. suis oocysts in seven samples. This type of oocyst measuring 23.9 by 20.7 mm had a retracted thin wall similar to that of the genus Sarcocystis. This
