Eimeriid coccidia (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) from Geoemydid Turtles (Testudines: Geoemydidae) with a Description of Six New Species

Original language description

The genus Eimeria Schneider, 1875, comprises of >1,000 described species, making it the most species-rich among coccidians. Within chelonian hosts, only 61 Eimeria spp. have been described to date, with the majority known from the New World. Yet, the Southeast Asia region has the highest turtle diversity in the world, from which only a few species have been discovered. Furthermore, the largest turtle family, Geoemydidae Theobald, 1868, has received little attention. In the past decade we examined samples from wild-caught geoemydid turtles from Southeast Asia and adjacent areas. Our work revealed considerable diversity of turtles' coccidia and we describe six new species of Eimeria in this report. Eimeria surinensis sp. n. from Malayemys subtrijuga caught in Thailand possesses almost spherical oocysts (22.6 x 21.4), with spindle-shaped to ellipsoidal sporocysts pointed at both poles (13.4 x 6.9). Eimeria pangshurae sp. n. from Pangshura sylhetensis residing in India has ellipsoidal to s
