    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Parasitology
    • Avian Health

    Background:

    • Coccidia are significant protozoan parasites affecting poultry worldwide.
    • Pheasant populations can be impacted by coccidial infections, influencing health and potentially economic outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To comprehensively review the existing literature on coccidia species found in pheasants.
    • To identify and describe the coccidia relevant to pheasant health, particularly in the UK.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of scientific publications and veterinary records.
    • Compilation and synthesis of data on pheasant coccidia identification and pathogenicity.

    Main Results:

    • Ten species of coccidia have been described in pheasants.
    • Three species, Eimeria colchici, Eimeria duodenalis, and Eimeria phasiani, are specifically associated with disease in the United Kingdom.

    Conclusions:

    • Understanding the diversity of pheasant coccidia is crucial for effective disease management.
    • Targeted control strategies are needed for Eimeria colchici, E. duodenalis, and E. phasiani to mitigate disease impact in UK pheasants.
