Abstract

Isospora californica (Protozoa: Eimeriidae) in Peromyscus maniculatus (Cricetidae) from White Sands National Monument, New Mexico

This report constitutes a new geographic record for Isospora californica and adds a micrograph of the coccidium, which the original description did not include. The latter is important because to correctly identify coccidia, a photograph as well as a drawing is at times necessary.
