| 中文描述 | 感染艾美球蟲（EIMERIA）、弓形球蟲(ATOXOPLASMA)會引發年輕金絲雀、及其他燕雀科鳥類的球蟲症；核孢子蟲(CARYOSPOR)的感染也同樣會產生臨床症狀。除了鵝在感染後會引起腎臟症狀外，腸胃道為球蟲在鳥類的主要感染部位。球蟲症的病灶依據感染球蟲的種類與小腸中被感染的部位而有所不同，但是主要都是引起程度不一的腸炎與小腸壁黏膜增厚。診斷方式依據臨床症狀與剖檢時小腸的病灶為主。不同的病灶區域可以用來推測感染的球蟲種類。刮取病灶區的黏膜組織去檢驗卵囊，可以用來區分病原性與非病原性球蟲感染。 |

| 英文描述 | A disease caused primarily by coccidia of the genus EIMERIA. ATOXOPLASMA can cause disease in young canaries and other passerine birds, and CARYOSPORA has caused clinical signs as well. Except for renal coccidiosis in geese, the disease in birds affects primarily the intestinal tract. Coccidia lesions in depend on the EIMERIA spp. and the site in small intestine, however they are generally enteritis of varying severity and thickening of the mucosa. Diagnosis by signs and gross intestinal lesions. The location of the lesions may suggest the species. Scraping of mucosa and examination of oocysts will help in differentiating between pathogenic and non-pathogenic coccidia. |
