This one is for goats, but it might be the same in sheep

Clinical Signs of Coccidiosis
As with other parasitic diseases, the clinical signs may vary between animals and on occasion may appear vague. In general, two forms of the disease should be recognized: the acute (or clinical) form and the chronic (subclinical) form. In the clinical form, obvious signs of the disease are suddenly seen. In the subclinical form, progressive, but slow and unseen, damage is done. In reality there is a continuum between these forms and occasionally animals will be seen to occasionally spontaneously break with clinical signs which then resolve themselves without intervention. In these cases, acute disease is seen while chronic coccidiosis is continuously occurring.  http://www.clemson.edu/agronomy/goats/handbook/coccidia.html
