Coprological examination of 71 samples from a breeding colony of veiled chameleons, Chamaeleo calyptratus Duméril et Duméril, 1851, revealed a presence of two species of coccidia. In 100% of the samples examined, oocysts of Isospora jaracimrmani Modrý et Koudela, 1995 were detected. A new coccidian species, Choleoeimeria hirbayah sp. n., was discovered in 32.4% of samples from the colony. Its oocysts are tetrasporocystic, cylindrical, 28.3 (25–30) × 14.8 (13.5–17.5) µm, with smooth, bilayered, ~1 µm thick wall. Sporocysts are dizoic, ovoidal to ellipsoidal, 10.1 (9–11) × 6.9 (6–7.5) µm, sporocyst wall is composed of two plates joined by a meridional suture. Endogenous development is confined to the epithelium of the gall blad- der, with infected cells being typically displaced from the epithelium layer towards lumen.

This novel coccidian is unusual because it develops extra-intestinally and sporulates endogenously within the prostate gland of its mammalian host. Histological examination of prostatic tissue revealed dense aggregations of spherical and thin-walled tetrasporocystic, dizoic sporulated coccidian oocysts within tubular lumina, with unsporulated oocysts and gamogonic stages within the cytoplasm of glandular epithelial cells. This coccidian was observed occurring concurrently with dasyurid herpesvirus 1 infection of the antechinus' prostate. Eimeria- specific 18S small subunit ribosomal DNA PCR amplification was used to obtain a partial 18S rDNA nucleotide sequence from the antechinus coccidian.

The glider was found dead in poor body condition. Histologically, large numbers of Parasite zoites were seen predominantly in macrophages in the liver, spleen and lung, with protozoal cysts present in the Protist liver. Molecular and phylogenetic analyses inferred that the protozoan parasite belongs to the family Sarco­ Sarcocystidae cystidae and is closely related to previously identified apicomplexans found in yellow-bellied gliders (Petaurus australis) in Australia and southern mouse opossums (Thylamys elegans) in Chile. 1.

Memoirs of the Queensland Museum 45(1):1-164. Brisbane. ISSN 0079-8835. Published reports of protozoan species from Australian animals have been compiled into a host- parasite checklist, a parasite-host checklist and a cross-referenced bibliography. Protozoa listed include parasites, commensals and symbionts but free-living species have been excluded. Over 590 protozoan species are listed including amoebae, flagellates, ciliates and ‘sporozoa’ (the latter comprising apicomplexans, microsporans, myxozoans, haplosporidians and paramyxeans). Organisms are recorded in association with some 520 hosts including mammals, marsupials, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates. Information has been abstracted from over 1,270 scientific publications predating 1999 and all records include taxonomic authorities, synonyms, common names, sites of infection within hosts and geographic locations.

    ii iii Agradecimentos Gostaria de agradecer a Capes/BR, que na condição de órgão de fomento viabilizou economicamente a realização desta pesquisa, à qual pude me dedicar integralmente. Gostaria de agradecer acima de tudo à Universidade Estadual de Campinas, à qual devo toda minha formação acadêmica. Gostaria de agradecer à minha orientadora Profa. Dra. Ana Maria Ap. Guaraldo pela simpatia, apoio e orientação, pois sem ela não seria possível a realização do presente trabalho. Agradeço ao Prof. Ângelo Pires do Prado pelas sugestões a respeito de taxonomia, assim como aos membros da pré-banca, professores Regina Maura Bueno Franco, Arthur Gruber, Wesley Rodrigues Silva e Nelson da Silva Cordeiro por suas valiosas críticas e sugestões. Agradeço também aos criadores de aves e equipes de zoológicos e parques, os quais me acompanharam e ajudaram nas coletas de material. iv Epígrafe In considering the origin of species, it is quite conceivable that a naturalist, reflecting on the mutual affinities of organic beings, on their embryological relations, their geographical distribution, geological succession, and other such facts, might come to the conclusion that species had not been independently created, but had descended, like varieties, from other species. On the origin of species, Charles Darwin, 1859 v Resumo “Contribuições ao perfil parasitológico de Psittacidae e descrição de uma nova espécie de Eimeria” . Psittacidae são aves de estimação bem conhecidas e comuns em zoológicos, parques e criatórios particulares. Têm uma ampla distribuição mundial, principalmente em regiões tropicais. Apesar de sua popularidade, pouco se sabe a respeito de seus parasitas, principalmente coccídios. O filo Apicomplexa é um grupo de protozoários predominantemente parasíticos de imensa importância médica e veterinária, o qual apresenta afinidades com Dinozoa, Ciliophora e Heterokonta.

  • Phylogeny of Coccidia and Coevolution with Their Hosts
    School of Doctoral Studies in Biological Sciences Faculty of Science Phylogeny of coccidia and coevolution with their hosts Ph.D. Thesis MVDr. Jana Supervisor: prof. RNDr. Václav Hypša, CSc. 12 This thesis should be cited as: Kvičerová J, 2012: Phylogeny of coccidia and coevolution with their hosts. Ph.D. Thesis Series, No. 3. University of South Bohemia, Faculty of Science, School of Doctoral Studies in Biological Sciences, České Budějovice, Czech Republic, 155 pp. Annotation The relationship among morphology, host specificity, geography and phylogeny has been one of the long-standing and frequently discussed issues in the field of parasitology. Since the morphological descriptions of parasites are often brief and incomplete and the degree of host specificity may be influenced by numerous factors, such analyses are methodologically difficult and require modern molecular methods. The presented study addresses several questions related to evolutionary relationships within a large and important group of apicomplexan parasites, coccidia, particularly Eimeria and Isospora species from various groups of small mammal hosts. At a population level, the pattern of intraspecific structure, genetic variability and genealogy in the populations of Eimeria spp. infecting field mice of the genus Apodemus is investigated with respect to host specificity and geographic distribution.

  • Protozoan Parasites of Wildlife in South-East Queensland
    Protozoan parasites of wildlife in south-east Queensland P.J. O’DONOGHUE Department of Parasitology, The University of Queensland, Brisbane 4072, Queensland Abstract: Over the last 2 years, samples were collected from 1,311 native animals in south-east Queensland and examined for enteric, blood and tissue protozoa. Infections were detected in 33% of 122 mammals, 12% of 367 birds, 16% of 749 reptiles and 34% of 73 fish. A total of 29 protozoan genera were detected; including zooflagellates (Trichomonas, Cochlosoma) in birds; eimeriorine coccidia (Eimeria, Isospora, Cryptosporidium, Sarcocystis, Toxoplasma, Caryospora) in birds and reptiles; haemosporidia (Haemoproteus, Plasmodium, Leucocytozoon, Hepatocystis) in birds and bats, adeleorine coccidia (Haemogregarina, Schellackia, Hepatozoon) in reptiles and mammals; myxosporea (Ceratomyxa, Myxidium, Zschokkella) in fish; enteric ciliates (Trichodina, Balantidium, Nyctotherus) in fish and amphibians; and endosymbiotic ciliates (Macropodinium, Isotricha, Dasytricha, Cycloposthium) in herbivorous marsupials. Despite the frequency of their occurrence, little is known about the pathogenic significance of these parasites in native Australian animals. Introduction Information on the protozoan parasites of native Australian wildlife is sparse and fragmentary; most records being confined to miscellaneous case reports and incidental findings made in the course of other studies. Early workers conducted several small-scale surveys on the protozoan fauna of various host groups, mainly birds, reptiles and amphibians (eg. Johnston & Cleland 1910; Cleland & Johnston 1910; Johnston 1912). The results of these studies have subsequently been catalogued and reviewed (cf. Mackerras 1958; 1961). Since then, few comprehensive studies have been conducted on the protozoan parasites of native animals compared to the extensive studies performed on the parasites of domestic and companion animals (cf.

  • Intestinal Coccidia (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) of Brazilian Lizards
    Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz, Rio de Janeiro, Vol. 97(2): 227-237, March 2002 227 Intestinal Coccidia (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) of Brazilian Lizards. Eimeria carmelinoi n.sp., from Kentropyx calcarata and Acroeimeria paraensis n.sp. from Cnemidophorus lemniscatus lemniscatus (Lacertilia: Teiidae) Ralph Lainson Departamento de Parasitologia, Instituto Evandro Chagas, Avenida Almirante Barroso 492, 66090-000 Belém, PA, Brasil Eimeria carmelinoi n.sp., is described in the teiid lizard Kentropyx calcarata Spix, 1825 from north Brazil. Oocysts subspherical to spherical, averaging 21.25 x 20.15 µm. Oocyst wall smooth, colourless and devoid of striae or micropyle. No polar body or conspicuous oocystic residuum, but frequently a small number of fine granules in Brownian movement. Sporocysts, averaging 10.1 x 9 µm, are without a Stieda body. Endogenous stages character- istic of the genus: intra-cytoplasmic, within the epithelial cells of the ileum and above the host cell nucleus. A re- description is given of a parasite previously described as Eimeria cnemidophori, in the teiid lizard Cnemidophorus lemniscatus lemniscatus. A study of the endogenous stages in the ileum necessitates renaming this coccidian as Acroeimeria cnemidophori (Carini, 1941) nov.comb., and suggests that Acroeimeria pintoi Lainson & Paperna, 1999 in the teiid Ameiva ameiva is a synonym of A. cnemidophori. A further intestinal coccidian, Acroeimeria paraensis n.sp. is described in C. l. lemniscatus, frequently as a mixed infection with A. cnemidophori. Mature oocysts, averag- ing 24.4 x 21.8 µm, have a single-layered, smooth, colourless wall with no micropyle or striae. No polar body, but the frequent presence of a small number of fine granules exhibiting Brownian movements.

The molecular phylogeny of colpodellids provides a framework for inferences about the earliest stages in apicomplexan evolution and the characteristics of the last common ancestor of apicomplexans and dinoflagellates. We extended this research by presenting phylogenetic analyses of small subunit rRNA gene sequences from Colpodella edax and three unidentified eukaryotes published from molecular phylogenetic surveys of anoxic environments. Phylogenetic analyses consistently showed C. edax and the environmental sequences nested within a colpodellid clade, which formed the sister group to (eu)apicomplexans. We also presented surface details of C. edax using scanning electron microscopy in order to supplement previous ultrastructural investigations of this species using transmission electron microscopy and to provide morphological context for interpreting environmental sequences. The microscopical data confirmed a sparse distribution of micropores, an amphiesma consisting of small polygonal alveoli, flagellar hairs on the anterior flagellum, and a rostrum molded by the underlying (open-sided)conoid. Three flagella were present in some individuals, a peculiar feature also found in the microgametes of some apicomplexans.

The diagnosis of coccidiosis, species description and systematics, are all dependent upon characterization of the oocyst. Therefore, this review aimed to the provide a critical overview of the methodologies, advantages and limitations of the currently available morphological, morphometrical and molecular biology based approaches that may be utilized for characterization of these important structures.
