Abstract
ABSTRACT: Fecal samples collected in April 2019 from 10 half-lidded ovals, Patera binneyana (Pilsbry, 1899) (Gastropoda), in McCurtain County, Oklahoma, U.S.A., were examined for coccidial parasites. Seven (70%) contained oocysts of Pfeifferinella gugleri Wacha, 1980. Ovoidal octozoic oocysts without sporocysts measured (average L × W) 22.2 × 14.1 µm with an L:W ratio of 1.5. Oocysts possessed a subspheroidal to spheroidal oocyst residuum as well as a micropyle. This snail represents the fourth host to harbor this coccidian. We document a new host and geographic distribution record for P. gugleri.
期刊介绍：
Comparative Parasitology (continuing the Journal of the Helminthological Society of Washington in its 67th volume) focuses on parasitological research of a comparative nature, emphasizing taxonomy, systematics, ecology, biogeography, evolution, faunal survey, and biological inventory within a morphological and/or molecular context. The scope of Comparative Parasitology extends to all parasitic faunas, including helminths, protistans and arthropods.
