Synonymy of Eimeria larimerensis with Eimeria lateralis

Oocysts of Eimeria lateralis were isolated from feces of Spermophilus richardsonii and compared to published descriptions of E. lateralis and Eimeria larimerensis from other spermophiline rodent hosts. A comparison of these 2 eimerian species, combined with an examination of host specificity of sper...

Zusammenfassung:Oocysts of Eimeria lateralis were isolated from feces of Spermophilus richardsonii and compared to published descriptions of E. lateralis and Eimeria larimerensis from other spermophiline rodent hosts. A comparison of these 2 eimerian species, combined with an examination of host specificity of spermophiline eimerians and host and parasite distributions, suggests that E. larimerensis is synonymous with E. lateralis.
