Yes, because it's so similar to the measles virus. However, even if it replicates in humans, it has no effects on us. But if a human is carrying the virus, he or she can still potentially pass it onto an animal.
Coccidia is classified as subclass of microscopic spore. It is a intracellular parasite that can infect both animals and humans, and can cause many disease.
Coccidia
This is an infection by a primitive single cell body called Coccidia. Often found in the feces of dogs and particularly puppies because of their immature digestive system. May be transferred to humans.
No. Cocci are round, Bacillus are capsule shaped.

The scientific names of coccidia are Isospora canis, Isospora ohioensis and Isospora burrowsi (dogs); Isospora felis and Isospora rivolta (cats). The way that i can be transmitted is by oral ingestion of oocysts.
Coccidia, and the strongyles and an occassional nematodirus

Once you have coccidia in your home or yard, it can be difficult to remove. Most veterinarians recommend washing your surfaces with a combination of bleach and water several days in a row to kill the bacteria. You should also be sure to immediately remove stool from infected animals from your yard or litter box.
In 1946 the first use of an arsanilic to control coccidia was introduced in commercially available chicken feed. Problem was while useful to save the flock, this drug effected the eggs and meat and rendered them unfit for human consumption. In the early 1950's a broad-spectrum drug to control coccidia was introduced by Purina.
oh also ... he seems otherwise very happy and healthy - very playful and affectionate ... we got him from a rescue shelter and he has coccidia right now apparently a bunch of the cats got it. he's taking Albon for it now. the vet didn't seem too worried about the test results - something about the cat being young and just finished nursing and fighting this parasite infection (i.e. coccidia). is there any correlation between coccidia and FeLV?
the principle of this test are used the method of a qualitative test for the detection of nematode and cestode eggs and coccidia oocysts in the faeces.
