Eimeria ferreirai

Quick answer

Type host: White-tipped dove Leptotila verreauxi Bonaparte, 1855 (Aves: Columbiformes: Columbidae). Other host: Grey-fronted doves Leptotila rufaxilla (Richard & Bernard, 1792) (Aves: Columbiformes: Columbidae). Type locality: Itatiaia National Park (22 ° 27 ’ 40 ” S, 44 ° 35 ’ 31 ” W), Southeastern Brazil. Other localities: Serra dos Órgãos National Park (22 ° 31 ’ 10 ” S, 43 ° 00 ’ 36 ” W) and Pinheiral (22 ° 31 ’ 37 ’’ S, 43 ° 59 ’ 45 ’’ W), also from Southeastern Brazil. Type-material: Photosyntypes, line drawing and oocysts recovered from L. verreauxi in 2.5 % K 2 Cr 2 O 7 solution (Williams et al. 2010) are deposited at the Museu de Zoologia at the Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, under accession number MZURPTZ 2019016. Photomicrographs are also deposited and available (http: // r 1. ufrrj. br / labicoc / colecao. html) in the Parasitology Collection of the Laboratório de Biologia de Coccídios, at UFRRJ, under repository number P- 99 / 2019. Photographs of the type-host specimen (symbiotype) are deposited in the same collection. Representative DNA sequence: One representative COI sequence was deposited in the GenBank database under the accession number MN 326301. ZooBank registration: To comply with the regulations set out in article 8.5 of the amended 2012 version of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN, 2012), details of the new species have been submitted to ZooBank. The Life Science Identifier (LSID) for E. ferreirai is urn: lsid: zoobank. org: act: 04 C 29620 - AF 5 E- 4 C 8 DBF 5 D- 5 B 9 D 31572122. Site of infection: Unknown. Prevalence: 70 % (7 / 10) overall; 78 % (7 / 9) for L. verreauxi; and 100 % (1 / 1) for L. rufaxilla. Sporulation: Exogenous. All oocysts were passed in the feces unsporulated and were fully sporulated by day 7 in K 2 Cr 2 O 7 solution at room temperature (20 – 25 ° C).
