    Abstract:

    A new species of coccidia (Protozoa: Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) found parasitizing the yellow-legged thrush Turdus flavipes (Vieillot, 1818), the pale-breasted thrush Turdus leucomelas Vieillot, 1818 and the creamy-bellied thrush Turdus amaurochalinus Cabanis, 1850 in Southeastern Brazil is described. Isospora brasilsatoae n. sp. has oocysts that are ovoidal to pyriform, 26.8 × 21.1 μm, with smooth, bilayered wall, ~1.6 μm thick. Micropyle present. Oocyst residuum absent, but one to three polar granules are present. Sporocysts are elongate ovoidal, 18.1 × 10.5 μm. Stieda body knob-like and sub-Stieda body trapezoidal. Sporocyst residuum is composed of granules that appear to be membrane-bounded. Sporozoites are vermiform with refractile bodies and striations. This is the ninth description of an Isospora sp. parasitizing a New World thrush.

    Abstract:

    A new species of Coccidia (Protozoa: Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) isolated from emus, Dromaius novaehollandiae , which was observed in Brazil is described and named. Oocysts of Isospora dromaii n. sp. are subspheroidal to ovoid in shape, measure 21.6 × 19.8 μm, and have a double and smooth wall thickness of approximately 1.4 μm. In this species, micropyle, oocyst residuum, and polar granules are absent. The sporocysts are slightly ovoid in shape and measure 13.7 × 10.0 μm. Nipple-like Stieda body and prominent sub-Stieda body are present. The sporocyst residuum is composed of small dispersed granules of varying sizes. The sporozoites are characterized by an oblong refractile body and one centrally located nucleus. This is the first description of isosporid coccidia infecting birds of the family Dromaiidae.

E-mail: pauloleal@ctiveterinario.com.brThe report a five month old male, Kavalier K C Spaniel was admitted to the Veterinary Health Centre at Barra da Tijuca in the City of Rio de Janeiro, RJ,Brazil. According to the owner description the puppy has a history of sialorrhea with prostration and episodes of vomiting. Next to this information theowner commented that the animal had the habit of walking in the garden. Stool examination was recommended where the presence of sporulated oocystsof Choleimeria rochalimai as a pseudoparasite of the dog due to the coprophagic habit to eat feces of the house geckos Hemidactylus mabouia, very common at human dwellings, associated to normal parasites of the dog Cystoisospora canis and Giardia intestinalis oocysts and cysts respectively.

    Abstract:

    Isospora canaria Box, 1975 (Protozoa, Apicomplexa, Eimeriidae) is reported and described from canaries Serinus canaria (Linnaeus) in southeast Brazil. Its oöcysts are subspheroidal to ellipsoidal, 24.4 × 22.2 μm, with smooth, bilayered wall, ~1.2 μm. The micropyle and the oöcyst residuum are absent, but a polar granule is present. The sporocysts are lemon-shaped, 17.6 × 10.6 μm. The Stieda body is nipple-like, and substieda body is prominent and homogeneous. The sporocyst residuum is composed of scattered granules. The sporozoite has anterior and posterior refractile bodies and a nucleus. The report of this coccidium recovered from exotic canaries in South America is relevant to native passerines, mainly to Carduelis yarrellii , which are listed as vulnerable species by IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources).

    ABSTRACT. Berto B.P., Luz, H.B., Ferreira I., Flausino W. & Lopes C.W.G. A diagnostic tool to identify species of the genus Isospora Schneider, 1881 (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) based on sporulated oocysts from Thaupidae family (Aves: Passeriformes): a dichotomous key [Uma ferramenta de diagnostico para identificar especies de Isospora Schneider, 1881 (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) da familia Thaupidae (Aves: Passeriformes): uma chave dicotomica]. Revista Brasileira de Medicina Veterinaria, 32(3):182-186, 2010. Laboratorio de Coccidios e Coccidioses, Departamento de Parasitologia Animal, Instituto de Veterinaria, Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro, BR 465 km 7, Seropedica, RJ 23890-000, Brasil. E-mail: bertobp@ufrrj.br The birds of the Thraupidae family, similar to other passerine birds can be infected by coccidia, and the genus Isospora can be considered the most relevant. Isospora thraupis, I. andesensis, I. irisidornisi, I. tiesangui, I. marambaiensis, I. sepetibensis, I. cadimi, I. navarroi, I. ramphoceli, I. sanhaci, I. sayacae and I. silvasouzai were described from thraupids of South American and considering that these birds are sympatric hosts of other birds that inhabit South, North and Central Americas, it is concluded that these parasites should be widely dispersed in the America Continent. In this sense, this paper proposes to provide scientific background and a dichotomous key to assist in the identification of sporulated oocysts of the genus Isospora from passerine birds of the Thraupidae family.
