The current status of some concepts of host and parasite interactions in the coccidia are discussed and evaluated. It is suggested that winter coccidiosis of cattle caused by Eimeria zuernii results from activation of arrested endogenous stages in the tissues of the host. A second aspect of clinical coccidiosis is that infections are seldom monospecific, but little work has been done on infections in animals with multiple species of coccidia. Information in the literature indicates that there are interactions between species of Eimeria in concurrent infections, and it is hoped that investigators will undertake studies to define more clearly what interactions there may be. Finally, the finding that there is a genetic basis for successful transmission of Eimeria separata from rats to mice provides a tool for studying the basis of host-specificity in the coccidia.
本文讨论并评估了球虫中宿主与寄生虫相互作用的一些概念的现状。研究表明，由艾美耳球虫引起的牛冬季球虫病是由于宿主体内停滞的内源性阶段被激活所致。临床球虫病的另一个方面是，感染很少是单特异性的，但关于多种球虫感染动物的研究很少。文献中的信息表明，同时感染时艾美耳球虫不同种之间存在相互作用，希望研究人员进行研究，更清楚地确定可能存在哪些相互作用。最后，艾美耳球虫从大鼠成功传播到小鼠存在遗传基础这一发现，为研究球虫宿主特异性的基础提供了一种工具。
