Toward AI-Assisted Poultry Coccidiosis Diagnosis: Evaluating Gemini and BiomedParse on Eimeria Microscopy Images
Coccidiosis caused by Eimeria parasites is a major economic burden in poultry production, and effective control depends on accurate species-level diagnosis. This study evaluates whether a general-purpose multimodal large language model can support such diagnosis. Google Gemini was assessed on 4,225 mi- croscopy images covering the seven fowl-infecting Eimeria species under two prompting conditions, one without candidate labels and one with a predefined class list, and was further tested for pathology-report generation, while BiomedParse was examined for parasite segmentation. Without candidate labels, the model produced broad and taxonomically inconsistent outputs. With candidate labels, ...
