Eimeria oocysts in auxiliary feed trays represent a potential source of infection to young broiler chicks

Journal of Applied Poultry Research
Summary: Outbreaks of avian coccidiosis arise after newly-placed chicks ingest high numbers of Eimeria oocysts present in litter. Preventing coccidiosis depends on reducing the number of Eimeria oocysts ingested to a level that either induces or boosts ...

T. gondii strains and their dosage influence the parasitic load in tissues of experimentally infected pigs [PDF]

, 2011
One of the major routes of a Toxoplasma gondii infection in humans is the consumption of raw or undercooked meat. In the present study, we compared the parasitic load induced by 2 different T.
