The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Eimeria leuckarti (Eimeriidae, Coccidia, Apicomplexa) infecting domestic horses (Equus ferus caballus) [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
The complete mitochondrial genome of Eimeria leuckarti (Eimeriidae, Coccidia, Apicomplexa) was obtained. This morphologically distinctive coccidium is considered to be the only valid Eimeria species of equids and it infects a range of both domestic and ...

NAD(P) transhydrogenase isoform distribution provides insight into apicomplexan evolution [PDF]

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Membrane-located NAD(P) transhydrogenase (NTH) catalyses reversible hydride ion transfer between NAD(H) and NADP(H), simultaneously translocating a proton across the membrane. The enzyme is structurally conserved across prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

A new genus and species of isosporoid coccidium from captive green tree frogs, Ranoidea caerulea (Anura: Hylidae) [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
A new genus and a new species of isosporoid coccidium (Apicomplexa: Conoidasida: Eimeriorina) are described and illustrated from green tree frogs (Ranoidea caerulea) (Anura: Hylidae) imported from Papua New Guinea and Indonesia. The described species has

Host specificity of gastrointestinal parasites in free-ranging sloths from Costa Rica [PDF]

PeerJ
The diversity and host specificity of gastrointestinal parasites infecting free-ranging sloths is poorly known. We compared gastrointestinal parasites of two sloth species from Costa Rica—three-fingered sloths (Bradypus variegatus) and two-fingered ...

The genome sequence of the Coccidian parasite, Eimeria praecox (Apicomplexa: Eucoccidiorida) [version 1; peer review: 3 approved] [PDF]

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from sporozoites from a clonal line of Eimeria praecox (the Coccidian parasite; Apicomplexa; Conoidasida; Eucoccidiorida; Eimeriidae). The genome sequence is 64.3 megabases in span.

A new Isospora species (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) from Taiwan Blue Magpie (Urocissa caerulea) (Passeriformes: Corvidae) with the first complete corvid coccidian mitogenome [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Passerine birds are highly susceptible to Isospora infections, yet the coccidian fauna of endemic Taiwanese avifauna remains largely unexplored. Here, we describe Isospora kwongchungi n. sp. (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) from the Taiwan Blue Magpie (Urocissa

Lankesterella and Isospora Coccidians: Differences in Host Specificity of Blood Parasites in Passerines [PDF]

Microorganisms
Parasitic protozoa such as Lankesterella and Isospora are common in avian hosts, particularly in passerines. Despite their high prevalence, the diversity of these parasites within avian populations remains poorly understood.
