MARTINEZ, FÉLIX A. et al. COCCIDIAN INFECTION IN CAPTIVE WILD CARNIVORES FROM ARGENTINA. Parasitol. latinoam. [online]. 2002, vol.57, n.3-4, pp. 146-148. ISSN 0717-7712.  doi: 10.4067/S0717-77122002000300011.

With the objective to determine the infection frequency by coccidia protozoa, 159 fecal samples from captive wiid camivores were analyzed. A 10.7% of the animal analyzed were positive to the infection. Whereas the family Procyonidae has a high percentage of positivity (35%), Canidae have lower infection ratio (23-33%) and Felidae only 0.3%). Family Musteldiae show negative findings
