摘要
Eimeria auratae n. sp, was described from the gall bladder of the lizard Mabuya aurata collected at Al-Hofuf village, eastern region, Saudi Arabia. Morphology of sporulated as well as non-sporulated oocysts were studied. Sporulated oocysts were ellipsoidal 22-31.5 X 13.5-21.8 (27.7 x 18.5) mum with smooth brownish-yellow bilayered wall, 1.1 (0.9-1.3) mum. Micropyle, polar granule and oocyst residuum were absent. Sporocysts were ellipsoidal 10.5-12.8 x 7.5-9 (11.8 x 8.5) mum. Sporocyst residuum was present but Stieda body was absent. Sporozoites were crescent-shaped, blunt at one end and slightly tapered at the other. Eimeria species from Scincidae were compared. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
