Biliary coccidiosis in a ferret (Mustela putorius furo)

This report documents the first case of biliary coccidiosis in the ferret. Multiple life stages of a coccidian parasite, including meronts, gametocytes, and oocysts were present in the epithelium of hepatic bile ducts and the gallbladder. Based on morphologic characteristics, the organisms were iden...
