Avian species have long struggled with the problem of coccidiosis, a disease that affects
various parts of the intestine, including the anterior gut, midgut, and hindgut. Among different …

The Apicomplexa is the only large taxonomic group whose members are entirely parasitic
and is, therefore, presumably of major interest to parasitologists. We might, for example …

Monophyly of all 11 valid Eimeria species from rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus Linnaeus,
1758) was revealed based on nuclear 18S rDNA sequence data. This finding implies that …

Eimeria, protozoan parasites from the phylum Apicomplexa, can cause the enteric disease
coccidiosis in all farmed animals. Coccidiosis is commonly considered to be most significant …

The degree of host specificity, its phylogenetic conservativeness and origin are virtually
unknown in Eimeria. This situation is largely due to the inadequate sample of eimerian …

Eimeria is an important coccidian enteric parasite that infects a wide range of hosts and can
cause substantial economic losses in the poultry and livestock industries. It is common for …

Phylogenetic analysis of the genus Eimeria suggests that parasite and host have coevolved
over broad evolutionary timescales. Here we extend this analysis by determining the 18S …

Among the 11 species of Eimeria in rabbits, some of which are known to be pathogenic and
cause enteritis, E. stiedae induces severe liver lesions resulting in elevated mortality. Unlike …

An Eimeria species is described from a dusky moorhen (Gallinula tenebrosa). Sporulated
oocysts (n= 40) are ovoid, with a pitted single-layered oocyst wall in young oocysts and a …

Among the 16 species of Eimeria from goats, Eimeria arloingi and Eimeria
ninakohlyakimovae are regarded as the most pathogenic species in the world and cause …
