- Title
Important protozoa of cats and dogs.
- Authors

- Abstract
Both dogs and cats can be infected by protozoal parasites. Signs of disease, however, are not always evident and some will live within the host undetected. Where they cause disease, it is often in debilitated or young animals. Intestinal forms are more likely to cause diseases resulting in diarrhoea, which can range from mild and chronic, to acute and severe. Some protozoal diseases have the potential to be zoonoses. Increased attention is now being paid to the risk of protozoal diseases, which are endemic in Europe, spreading to the UK through the growing numbers of pets travelling within the Pet Travel Scheme.
