Swine coccidium, an parasitic protozoa, parasitize in small intestine of pigs, causes the coccidiosis of pigs.
The disease occurs mainly in piglets at 7 ~ 11 days age.

Toxonomy: Sporozoa, Eucoccidia, Eimeriina, Eimeriidae Eimeria and Isospora.
Coccidia: 17 species, five of them are still controversial. Common species: I. suis E. debliecki, E. scabra and E. spinosa.
Isospora suis(猪等孢球虫)
Eimeria艾美球虫
The oocysts of Isospora suis contain 2 sporoblasts .The oocysts of Eimeria contain 4 sporoblasts .猪等孢球虫含 2个孢子囊,艾美球虫则含 4个孢子囊。

Life cycle
The general form of swine coccidian life history is represented by the genus/sospora. This life history includes both asexual and sexual multiplication. Sexual multiplication culminates in the formation of oocysts, which are discharged with the feces.

Epidemiology For clinically significant disease to occur, piglets need to be
infected with relatively high numbers of oocysts Oocysts are resistant to drying and most disinfectants Most piglets are infected by oocysts carried over from
previous litters Once the piglet starts scouring, the intestinal wall is
damaged, and treatment will not work effectively.
Symptoms Acute Scour(腹泻 ) tends to occur in individual pigs from approximately 6 days of
age, but most of the litter scour at 8-10 days. At the start of scouring, vomiting may be seen.
Scour ranges from white to pasty cream feces through to a yellowy watery scour.
Piglets tend to be in poor condition, hairy and growing more slowly than other piglets within the litter
Mortality rates reach 20% in acute cases Subclinical Most farms will have coccidosis at a low level affecting piglet performance
Lesions The main pathological changes of piglet
coccidiosis is acute enteritis, confined to the jejunum and ileum, visible serious enteritis, yellow cellulose necrotizing pseudomembrane loosely attached to the mucosal surface.

Diagnosis According to the main symptom diarrhea and
piglet age at 7 to 14 days age, and this kind of diarrhea treated invalid with antibiotics
Differential diagnosis: other pathogens caused piglet diarrhea, such as E. coli, infectious virus, rotavirus, Strongyloides sterocoralis.

Treatment and Prevention
( 1 ) Treatment:Treat with Baycox(百球清 ) an oral preparation given at 4 and 10 days of age. Sulfonamides(磺胺 ) may also be used as treatment.

(2)Prevention Clean the farrowing house(分娩房 ) with an coccida
disinfectant such as Oocide (Antec International) Reduce/cease cross-fostering(寄养 ) after 2-3 days of age Sows should be washed/disinfected before entering the
farrowing house Use separate brushes, forks, shovels in each farrowing
room Control flies Reduce draughts(賊风 ) and other environmental stress
