Introduction

This page is not an attempt to usurp the very informative work of P.L. Long and L.P. Joyner (eds., 1996, Profiles of Coccidiologists, ISBN No. 0-9529856-0-8). However, if you are searching our database, we felt it would be useful for you to have, with the click of your mouse, contact information for the active coccidiologists in the world. This page will be continuously updated as necessary from its inception on 14 January 1999.

If you work with the coccidia and your name is not on this list, it is our error of omission and we apologize. If you would like to be listed on our web page, please send us your vital statistics to conform to the format as follows: 1) your work affiliation, 2) current and complete mailing address with all the necessary postal codes, 3) your current telephone and fax numbers, 4) your e-mail address, 5) up to 2 web page addresses, and 6) a brief statement , 2-3 sentences maximum, of your current research interests.
