Can coccidia live in the carpet?

Coccidia are protozoan parasites that primarily infect the intestinal tract of animals, particularly in young or immunocompromised individuals. While they can survive in the environment, including soil and feces, they are not typically known to thrive in carpets. However, if fecal matter containing coccidia oocysts gets onto a carpet, it could potentially contaminate the area. Regular cleaning and sanitation can help reduce the risk of transmission.
