| evolutionary plasticity in coccidia - striking morphological similarity of unrelated coccidia (apicomplexa) from related hosts: eimeria spp. from african and asian pangolins (mammalia: pholidota). | two morphologically similar, but phylogenetically unrelated eimeria species from ancient mammals, african tree pangolin phataginus tricuspis and sunda pangolin manis javanica (pholidota: manidae), from two distant biogeographic realms (afrotropical and oriental), are characterized and compared morphologically and molecularly. phylogenetic analyses produced an unstable topology. however, while precise position of the two eimeria species from pangolins could not be firmly established due to the la ... | 2013 | 23837921 |
