lsospora, Caryospora and Eimeria (Apicomplexa: Passeriform Birds from Czech Republic

چکیده
Passeriform birds were studied as hosts of monoxenous coccidia (Eimeriidae). 571 faecal samp1es from 46 species were examined. Coccidia were found in 210 samples (36.8%) from 34 host species (73.9% of examined species). 36 oocyst types mostly belonging to the genus lsospora were found (33 types); oocysts of the genera Caryospora and Eimeria were also noted. Caryospora is reported for the first time from the genus Acrocephalus. Infections were mostly single (91.4%), blit multiple infections were also found. Problems of species determination in eimeriid coccidia from birds are discussed, as well as the possibility that every species of passerine bird in Central Europe can act as a host for at least one species of monoxenous coccidia.

A coprological survey of enteroparasites in raptors (60 Falconiformes) from Central Mexico is reported. Three samples contained coccidian unsporulated oocysts, one contained Eimeria sp., one contained trematode eggs and one contained capillarid and trematode eggs and Eimeria sp. After sporulation at the laboratory, oocysts from a Falco peregrinus were identified as Caryospora neofalconis. The p...

Caryospora simplex is reported for the first time from the feces of a captive female Kaznakov's viper (Vipera kaznakovi) in Albuquerque, New Mexico (USA). Coccidian meronts and gamonts were observed in the intestinal epithelial cells of another female Kaznakov's viper that died in October 1993.
