Coccidiosis is a common parasitic disease of chickens caused by protozoans of the genus Eimeria. It is one of the most important diseases of poultry worldwide, causing significant economic losses due to reduced growth, mortality, and costs of treatment.

Coccidiosis remains a significant challenge for poultry producers, impacting both long- and short-lived birds. While chemoprophylaxis is being more and more contested due to the appearance of resistances and the One Health Approach, the use of vaccination strategies is becoming an increasing trend.

Avian coccidiosis in chickens is still considered as one of the main diseases in poultry production, causing significant health problems and great economic losses, either in its clinical or subclinical form. In this article, we will briefly review the main features of the disease: etiologic agent, the types of coccidiosis in poultry, pathogenesis, prevention and control.
