Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Eimeria waiganiensis sp. n. is described from Green-winged ground dove (Chalcophaps indica Linnaeus) and the Magnificent ground pigeon (Otidiphaps nobilis Gould) in Papua New Guinea. Oocysts broadly ovoid, 22-25 by 19-23 micron (24 by 22 micron); L/W ratio 1.08-1.2 (1.1). Oocyst surface smooth, wall light brown, 1.5 micron thick, 1-layered, the inner surface appearing pitted. Micropyle (4-6 micron) and 2 to 4 polar granules present; oocyst residuum absent. Sporocysts ovoid, 9.0-10.5 by 6.0-7.5 micron (10 by 7 micron) with prominent conical Stieda body and small substieda body. Small, finely-granular sporocyst residuum is sanwiched between the sporozoites. The elongate-ovoid sporozoites possess distinct anterior and posterior refractile globules. Two of 4 ground doves and 1 of 3 ground pigeons were infected with E. waiganiensis sp. n.
