Eimeria acervulina

Species of single-celled organism

Eimeria acervulina is a species of Eimeria that causes coccidiosis in poultry worldwide.[2] Affected birds tend to appear depressed with reduced appetite, diarrhea, and depigmentation.[2] Diagnosis is made by necropsy based on lesions in the upper third of the small intestine, and the appearance of white or grey striations along the intestinal mucosa.[2] Scrapings of the mucosa from diseased birds can reveal oocysts.
