The coccidian parasites (Protozoa, Apicomplexa) of carnivores

Coccidian Parasites (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) from Insectivores. III. Seven New Species in Shrews (Soricidae: Soricinae) from Canada, Japan, and the United States

“…Based on this argument we suggest that E. komareki, E. neomyi, and E. ropotamae are junior synonyms of E. chagasi. This concurs with a view held by Levine and Ivens (1979).…”

Cystoisospora Canis Nemeséri, 1959 (Syn. Isospora Canis), Infections in Dogs: Clinical Signs, Pathogenesis, and Reproducible Clinical Disease in Beagle Dogs Fed Oocysts

“…We used young (6-to 8-wk-old) dogs in hopes of obtaining them before they developed a natural C. canis infection. Fortunately, none of our dogs came infected with C. canis because preinoculation fecal examinations for C. canis were negative and the timing of the prepatent period was consistent with the literature (Nemeséri, 1960;Lepp and Todd, 1974;Levine and Ivens, 1981). Prior infection is always a problem when working with coccidia in animals.…”

“…Little is known about the pathogenicity of C. neorivolta (Mahrt, 1967;Dubey and Mahrt, 1978) or C. burrowsi (Trayser and Todd, 1978;Rommel and Zielasko, 1981). Levine and Ivens (1981) suggested that strain differences in pathogenicity of C. canis could be present in dogs. Nemeséri (1960) found that 5 ϫ 10 3 oocysts of a Hungarian isolate of C. canis were not pathogenic for dogs, but an inoculum of 5 or 8 ϫ 10 4 oocysts produced clinical coccidiosis.…”

Redescription of Eimeria dorcadis Mantovani, 1966 (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) from the dorcas gazelle (Gazella dorcas) in Saudi Arabia

“…it appears that all eimerian parasites described from members of the genus Gazella lack oocyst residuum and polar granules, although oocysts of E. elegans Yakimoff, gousseff et rastegaieff, 1932 from G. gazella were described either having polar granules or not (Mantovani 1966, Pellérdy 1974, levine and ivens 1986. they all possess a sporocyst residuum (svanbaev 1979, levine and ivens 1986).…”
