Mergeto: Coccidia

[edit]
More information should be included and I agree that all the coccidia species should be listed and defined within the main article. This article needs lots of additional information. Coral.williams (talk) 19:51, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Recreation of the page

[edit]

I have decided to move the disease related material back to a separate page. It is the convention on the medical pages to seperate the causivie organism and the disease. Also the taxonomy is now somewhat more advanced in WP that it was earlier - albeit still with lots of work needing to be done.DrMicro (talk) 15:52, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology

[edit]

Greek kokkidion = "berry" (kokonut) + osis = "a state of disease." So - a state of disease characterised by some berry shaped thing = oocyst / cysts - the latter usually range in size between five and 50 µm in diameter,[36] (with 50 µm being about two-thirds the width of the average human hair). Pls complete - sorry - this is all I had time for. Cheers, SvenAERTS (talk) 23:04, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
