| coccidia from bats (chiroptera) of the world: a new eimeria species in pipistrellus javanicus from japan. | fecal samples from 56 japanese bats representing 6 species in 2 families were examined for coccidian oocysts. two of the 56 (< 4%) were infected with coccidia; however, only 1 animal was infected with sufficient numbers of sporulated oocysts to allow the description of a new species of eimeria. sporulated oocysts (n = 150) of this new species are subspheroidal, 20.3 x 18.1 (16-25 x 14-21) microns, with ellipsoidal sporocysts 10.6 x 6.6 (8-12 x 5-8) microns; this species occurred in 1 of 4 (25%) ... | 1997 | 9105311 |
| serological evidence of toxoplasma gondii infection in five species of bats in china. | toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite that can infect almost all warm-blooded animals and humans with a worldwide distribution. bats are reservoirs for an increasing number of emerging zoonotic viruses, such as henipaviruses and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (sars-cov). however, little is known of t. gondii infection in bats. the objective of the present study was to determine the seroprevalence of t. gondii infection in bats in china. a total of 217 s ... | 2013 | 23473226 |
