[Is coccidiosis in mature cattle an exception?]

An outbreak of coccidiosis in a group of forty Jersey cattle is reported. This group formed part of a population of 200 dairy cattle. Severe infection by Dictyocaulus viviparus occurred prior to this outbreak of coccidiosis. The two clinical pictures were confined to the group of Jerseys, which animals had been imported from Denmark during the previous autumn and winter (1983-1984).
