[QUOTE="Carrie, post: 28177, member: 361"] Whoops! Just reread this thread and it's coccidiosis you're talking about not coccidioidomycosis. My bad. Coccidiosis is an altogether different cootie. Coccidiosis is a parasitic infection and the infectious agent is a coccidian protozoa. Method of transmission is fecal/oral and can include water and foodborne transmission as well. Dun is right, this type of bug can survive in the most adverse conditions for a long time. Poop can remain infectious for up to six months in moist conditions. Good sanitary practices are key here. So get out that shovel! Take care not to spread contaminated manure near any type of water source though, and again, be careful as some types of this bug ([i]cryptosporidium parvum[/i]) are transmissible to humans.
