This study represents the first record of the occurrence of C. bigenetica in snakes in South America. Feces were sampled between November 2013 and May 2014 from 256 wild snakes maintained in scientific breeding facilitie...

... performed coprological examinations of 214 snakes from MS belonging to 10 species (Table 1) and 42 snakes belonging to 8 species maintained in the Vital Brazil Institute, RJ ( Table 2). Oocysts of C. bigenetica were found in 6% (12/214) of the specimens from MS, i.e., 10 Bothrops moojeni and two Crotalus durissus, and in 5% (2/40) of the specimens from RJ, i.e., one C. durissus and one Bothrops jararacussu. ...Similar publications
The wood thrush, Hylocichla mustelina, is a North American passerine bird closely related to other thrushes and is widely distributed across North America. Nothing is known of the coccidian parasites of this bird. Feces from a single H. mustelina found dead in McCurtain County, Oklahoma were collected and examined for coccidia; it was found to be p...
Between April 2012 and October 2017, 18 southern black racers, Coluber constrictor priapus , were collected from nine counties of Arkansas ( n = 13) and McCurtain County, Oklahoma ( n = 5) and their faeces examined for coccidian parasites. One of 18 (6%) C. c. priapus harboured an eimerian that we describe here as new. Oocysts of Eimeria dunni sp....
Isospora fitzpatricki n. sp. is described from a yellow warbler, Setophaga petechia (L.), from McCurtain County, Oklahoma, USA. Oöcysts of the new species are subspheroidal to ovoidal with a smooth bi-layered wall, measure (L × W) 24.2 × 20.4 μm, and have a length/width (L/W) ratio of 1.2; a micropyle and oöcyst residuum are both absent, but polar...

(Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) collected from the black-polled yellowthroat Geothlypis speciosa Sclater, is reported from the marsh Ciénegas del Lerma Natural Protected Area, Mexico. Sporulated oöcysts of the new species are subespherical to ovoidal, 24−26 × 21−23 (25.7 × 22.2) μm, with a length/width (L...

This chapter deals with the most important parasitic protozoan species of farm and pet animals in the surroundings of humans. Especially the morphology, reproduction and control measurements of these parasites are demonstrated in text, tables and on numerous macrophotos as well as on light and electron micrographs.
