Two new species of Eimeria (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) in Philippine tarsier (Tarsius syrichta)
چکیده انگلیسی
Philippine tarsier (Tarsius syrichta) is a small nocturnal primate from the Philippines. Little is known about tarsier parasites, including coccidia (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae), a highly prevalent parasitic protist group in all vertebrate classes. Only 7 valid species of the genus Eimeria, seven species of Isospora and 5 species of Cyclospora have been described in Primates. This study extends the number of coccidia known in primates by two new species obtained from faeces of Philippine tarsiers from Bohol Island. The newly described Eimeria syrichta n. sp. and Eimeria boholensis n. sp. differ morphologically from each other as well as from other coccidia reported from primates. Partial DNA sequences of three genes were obtained from oocysts of E. syrichta n. sp. and E. boholensis n. sp., and formed clusters according to their host specificity; however, there are no other sequentional data of coccidia from primates, except for the genus Cyclospora, which clusters inside the chicken eimerians, and Cystoisospora belli, which is phylogenetically related to Sarcocystidae. More molecular data on coccidia infecting primates are needed for further discussion.
