Coccidia are microscopic, single-celled parasites that infect the intestine. A Coccidia infestation can cause a watery, sometimes bloody diarrhea that can be life-threatening problem to a young or small pet.
Coccidia are organisms contained in the suborder Eimeriorina Leger, 1911, which is the largest subgroup of the protist phylum Apicomplexa Levine, 1970[1] (http://biology.unm.edu/biology/coccidia/home.html).

Young puppies are very frequently infected with coccidia and often develop active coccidiosis -- even puppies obtained from professional and relatively careful breeders.
