Kobusspp的Reduncinbovids。(Bovidae:Reduncini)天然分布在撒哈拉以南非洲,尽管一些人口已经被引入世界各地的公园和动物园。大多数物种的种群减少,被归类为受到国际自然和自然资源保护联盟的威胁;因此,保护Kobusspp的保护措施。是必要的,包括研究它们的寄生虫,例如Eimeriid球虫(Apicomplex:Eimeriidae)。在这种情况下,本研究的目的是汇集来自艾美球虫属的描述和报告的分类数据。从ReduncinBovids,基于对贡梅球虫的详细形态鉴定,Pampiglione&Kabala,1973年来自一个新的寄主亚种,普通水鹿Kobusellipsiprymnusellipsiprymus(Ogilbyi,1833),在葡萄牙的野生动物园。五个艾美球虫。是从reduncinbovids记录的,除了另外六份一般被确定为艾美球虫的报告。,进行了比较和分类重新排列。本研究中鉴定为congolensis的卵囊与原始描述相符,并补充了一些最初未包括的分类学特征,例如:施蒂达身体扁平成乳头状,Sub-Stieda车身圆形为梯形,孢子囊残留颗粒和膜结合,除了更多的细节,在其他人中。最后,当前的研究强调了研究reduncinbovids的球虫对保护Kobusspp的重要性。由于这些艾美球虫的可能性。是肠道外的寄生虫,这可能会导致严重的球虫病,与某些Kobusspp受威胁人群的发病率和死亡率增加有关。
Reduncin bovids of Kobus spp. (Bovidae: Reduncini) are natively distributed in sub-Saharan Africa, although some populations have been introduced into parks and zoos around the world. The majority of the species has declining populations, being categorized as threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources; therefore, protective measures for the conservation of Kobus spp. are necessary, including the study of their parasites, such as the eimeriid coccidians (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae). In this context, the aim of the current study was to brings together the taxonomic data from the descriptions and reports of Eimeria spp. from reduncin bovids, based on the detailed morphological identification of Eimeria congolensis Ricci-Bitti, Pampiglione & Kabala, 1973 from a new host subspecies, the common waterbuck Kobus ellipsiprymnus ellipsiprymnus (Ogilbyi, 1833), in a safari park of Portugal. Five Eimeria spp. are recorded from reduncin bovids, in addition to six more reports identified generically as Eimeria sp., which were compared and taxonomically rearranged. The oocysts identified as E. congolensis in the current study were compatible with the original description and were supplemented for some taxonomic characters not originally included, such as: Stieda body flattened to nipplelike, sub-Stieda body rounded to trapezoidal, sporocyst residuum granular and membrane-bound, in addition to greater details of the micropyle, among others. Finally, the current study highlights the importance of studying the coccidians of reduncin bovids for the conservation of Kobus spp. due to the possibility of these Eimeria spp. are extra-intestinal parasites, which can potentially cause severe coccidiosis associated with increased morbidity and mortality in certain threatened populations of Kobus spp.
