“…In the present study, the results of the phylogenetic analyses performed with Eimeria sequences obtained from different animal classes (including rodentspecific species such as Eimeria jerfinica and Eimeria alorani) show that the SSU-rRNA, ORF470 and COI sequences of E. myoxi obtained from the garden dormouse are placed outside the two recognized rodent clades. These findings are consistent with previous phylogenetic analyses conducted by several authors [17,[30][31][32][33]35,36] and support the existence of three lineages of rodent-infecting Eimeria, as previously suggested by Kvičerová et al [10].…”

Over the last two decades my colleagues and I have assembled the literature on a good percentage of most of the coccidians (Conoidasida) known, to date, to parasitise: Amphibia, four major lineages of Reptilia (Amphisbaenia, Chelonia, Crocodylia, Serpentes), and seven major orders in the Mammalia (Carnivora, Chiroptera, Lagomorpha, Insectivora, Marsupialia, Primates, Scandentia). These vertebrates, combined, comprise about 15,225 species; only about 899 (5.8%) of them have been surveyed for coccidia and 1,946 apicomplexan valid species names or other forms are recorded in the literature. Based on these compilations and other factors, I extrapolated that there yet may be an additional 31,381 new apicomplexans still to be discovered in just these 12 vertebrate groups. Extending the concept to all of the other extant vertebrates on Earth; i.e. lizards (6,300 spp.), rodents plus 12 minor orders of mammals (3,180 spp.), birds (10,000 spp.), and fishes (33,000 spp.) and, conservatively assuming only two unique apicomplexan species per each vertebrate host species, I extrapolate and extend my prediction that we may eventually find 135,000 new apicomplexans that still need discovery and to be described in and from those vertebrates that have not yet been examined for them! Even doubling that number is a significant underestimation in my opinion.

“…Eimerians share some similarities with coccidian genera such as Cyclospora, Cystisospora, Sarcocystis, Toxoplasma, Neospora, Epieimeria, Karyolysus and Hammondia but are less related to Cryptosporidium and remotely to Plasmodium, Theileria and Babesia [5,6]. Eimeria are obligate intracellular parasites in all classes of vertebrate [7] with absolute host and tissue specificity [8,9]. Eimeria cause coccidiosis, the most important parasitic disease in poultry [10][11][12][13][14], which can transfer easily among congeneric hosts [15,16].…”

Apicomplexans are important pathogens that cause severe infections in humans and animals. The biology and pathogeneses of these parasites have shown that proteins are intrinsically modulated during developmental transitions, physiological processes and disease progression. Also, proteins are integral components of parasite structural elements and organelles. Among apicomplexan parasites, Eimeria species are an important disease aetiology for economically important animals wherein identification and characterisation of proteins have been long-winded. Nonetheless, this review seeks to give a comprehensive overview of constitutively expressed Eimeria proteins. These molecules are discussed across developmental stages, organelles and sub-cellular components vis-à-vis their biological functions. In addition, hindsight and suggestions are offered with intention to summarise the existing trend of eimerian protein characterisation and to provide a baseline for future studies.
