Eimeria nycteae sp. n. (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae), a new parasite species from the snowy owl, Nyctea scandiaca
Coprological examinations of three snowy owls, Nyctea scandiaca (L.) revealed the presence of a coecidium of the genus Eimeria that apparently represents a previously undescribcd species. Oocysts of Eimeria nycteae sp. n. were spherical to subspherical, 23.6 (23-25) x 22.2 (22-23) pm with a shape in...
