| first record of eimeria furonis infection in a ferret, japan, with notes on the usefulness of partial small subunit ribosomal rna gene sequencing analysis for discriminating among eimeria species. | eimeria is a genus of apicomplexan parasites found in a variety of vertebrates including the weasel. at present, three species have been reported in members of the weasel family, but the presence of weasel eimeria in japan have been quite unclear. the identification of eimeria species has been performed based on oocyst morphology, host species, and habitat in the host, but sometimes discriminating among morphologically similar species under light microscopy is impossible. the present study detec ... | 2008 | 18516721 |
