efficacy of ionophorous anticoccidial drugs against coccidia in farm-reared pheasants (phasianus colchicus) from illinois.	litter samples obtained from a ring-necked pheasant propagation farm in illinois contained coccidia: 57.5% of the oocysts were eimeria duodenalis, 24.9% were e. tetartooimia, 8.8% were e. phasiani, and 8.8% were e. pacifica. ionophorous anticoccidial drugs were tested for efficacy against the pheasant coccidia. all three drugs reduced oocyst production and prevented mortality in young pheasants; unmedicated infected controls had a 40% mortality rate. monensin at 120 ppm in the feed was coccidioc ...	1987	3619826
course of the endogenous developmental phase of selected eimeria species in pheasants.	the localization and duration of developmental stages of eimeria colchici and eimeria duodenalis were studied histologically. the prepatent period of the most pathogenic species from the caeca of pheasants--eimeria colchici--was 6 days. the patent period began on the 7th day and finished on the 11th day post-infection with the maximum production of oocysts on days 8-9. in the case of eimeria duodenalis the prepatent period was shorter--4 days, and the duration of the patent period was 3-4 days w ...	1998	9763319
