Original language name

A new coccidian parasite (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) from the rufous elephant shrew, Elephantulus rufescens, from Kenya

Original language description

Eimeria elephantuli n.sp. is the first species of coccidian parasite reported from the rufous elephant shrew, Elephantulus rufescens. Oocysts are subspherical, 29.4 (27-34) × 26.1 (23-29) ?m, with a distinct spherical oocyst residuum and polar granule. The oocyst wall is bilayered, brownish and finely granular. Sporocysts are ellipsoidal, 12.6 (11-14) × 8.8 (8-10) ?m, possessing Stieda and substiedal bodies. The sporocyst residuum consists of numerous fine granules scattered irregularly among the sporozoites. Sporozoites are vermiform, with a large posterior, bean-shaped refractile body. Individual macrogamonts, presumed to be those of E. elephantuli, had large wall-forming bodies and were found in the enterocytes of the small intestine.

Czech description

Eimeria elephantuli n. sp. je prvním druhem kokcidie popsaným z bércouna Elephantulus rufescens. Oocysty jsou subsférické, 29.4 (27-34) × 26.1 (23-29) ?m, s výrazným sférickým residuem a pólovým tělískem. Stěna oocysty je granulovaná. Sporocysty jsou eliptické, 12.6 (11-14) × 8.8 (8-10) ?m, se Stiedovým a substiedálním tělískem. Jednotliví makrogamonti, považovaní za stadia E. elephantuli, měly velká WFB a byly nalezeni v enterocytech tenkého střeva.
