Comparison of Eimeria species in native and introduced squirrels
Original language description
The red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) is a species common throughout Eurasia. In Great Britain, Ireland and Italy, their numbers have decreased drastically in recent years, also in association with the introduction of alien tree squirrels, mainly the eastern grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) from North America. Our study was focused on the squirrel populations in Italy to compare gastrointestinal parasites in S. vulgaris, S. carolinensis and also Callosciurus erythraeus, the Pallas's squirrel, originated from South-eastern Asia. Eimeria species were dominant coproscopical findings in all three squirrel species. Morphological determination of the eimerian oocysts revealed three morphotypes (I, II, III) in S. vulgaris, two (II, III) in S. carolinensis and slight infections with morphotype II in C. erythraeus. Similarities of morphotype II and III required deeper determination based on genetic analyses. So far, the sequences obtained do not support the hypothetical exchange of Eimeria sp
