| coccidia in passerines from the nevado de toluca national park, mexico. | in this study, we found unsporulated coccidia oocysts in passerines from the nevado de toluca national park, mexico. we captured birds and took samples of their droppings during three field visits. we examined a total of 72 fecal samples and found unsporulated coccidia oocysts in 10 samples from five passerine species: atlapetes pileatus (3), cardelina ruber (1), mniotilta varia (1), oreothlypis celata (2) and regulus calendula (3). this appears to be the first recorded study of unsporulated coc ... | 2014 | 26204037 |
