A coccidium is a type of parasitic protozoan that commonly infects the intestinal tract of animals.
The life cycle of a coccidium typically involves both sexual and asexual stages within the host's digestive system.
Coccidia reproduce by forming oocysts, which are shed in the host's feces and can contaminate the environment.
The presence of coccidia in animal fecal samples indicates an active infection that requires treatment and management.
