Diagnosis and Management of Poultry Coccidiosis provides a comprehensive overview of current trends in the control of Eimeria and coccidiosis. Chicken coccidiosis cost the global economy $12.58 billion in 2016, including lost productivity and expenditures associated with prevention and treatment. As a result, chicken producers have developed several management approaches to combat coccidiosis. With consumer and regulatory pressure, nutritional interventions, and the need to identify anticoccidial alternatives that do not impair growth performance, this book contemplates the antibiotic-free future of the chicken industry. Initial chapters in this book introduce readers to chicken coccidiosis and the identification and diagnosis of the Eimeria parasite. Subsequent chapters describe innate and adaptive immune responses of poultry to Eimeria and delve into the purification of Eimeria lifecycle stages and in vitro culture systems for the study of Eimeria. The latter half of the book examines a variety of modern immunization measures, dietary interventions, and anticoccidial medications designed to combat coccidiosis.

Dr. John R. Barta is a Professor at Guelph University. His research focuses on better understanding the interactions that parasites of the phylum Apicomplexa (e.g., Plasmodium, Eimeria, Isopora, Toxoplasma gondii, Crytosporidium) have with host vertebrates. Dr. Barta’s main area of expertise is coccidiosis in chickens. Dr. Guillermo Téllez is a Research Professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. He obtained his DVM and MS from the National Autonomous University of Mexico and his PhD from Texas A & M University. He studies enteric health, and his research interests include the relationship of probiotics to nutrition and disease protection in poultry, as well as the design of avian enteric inflammation models to examine the impact of diet and microbiome on growth and development. Dr. Saeed El-Ashram is a Research Professor at Zhaoqing Duhuanong Biology Medicine Co., Ltd and Professor at both Kafrelsheikh University and Foshan University. He studies parasitic diseases, and his interests include parasitology, immunology, veterinary medicine, and next-generation sequencing. The primary goal of his research is to understand how the animal immune system recognizes and responds to parasitic infections with and/or without a microbial community. Dr. Luis Manuel Madeira de Carvalho is an Associate Professor of Animal Health at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Technical University of Lisbon (FVM/TUL). Dr. de Carvalho obtained his PhD from FVM/TUL, and his research interests include companion animal parasites, parasitic zoonoses, ruminant gastrointestinal parasites, and wildlife diseases. In addition to teaching Parasitology, Helminthology, Parasitic Diseases, and Wildlife Diseases, Dr. de Carvalho in a researcher at the Interdisciplinary Research Center on Animal Health (CIISA/FVM/TUL). Dr. Abdulaziz Alouffi is an Associate Research Professor at KACST in Saudi Arabia. He obtained his DVM from Qassim University and his PhD from the University of Nottingham. His research interests include diagnosis of zoonotic diseases, parasite identification, and vaccine targeting. Dr. Danielle Graham is an Assistant Professor at Fayetteville State University. She obtained her PhD from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Her research focuses on avian intestinal health and parasitology.
