- Abstract
Abstract??Eimeria cahirinensisCouch et al.<cite>1997</cite>was found in faecal samples ofAcomys dimidiatusfrom three different localities in the Near East. Twenty-two of 104 (21%)A. dimidiatustrapped on both the south- and north-facing slopes of ?Evolution Canyon?, Lower Nahal Oren, Mt. Carmel, Israel in August 2001 and 2002 were infected withE. cahirinensis. Oocysts were also obtained from a single individual ofA. dimidiatustrapped in Wadi Ramm, Jordan in the summer of 1999. Laboratory-reared spiny mice (Acomysspp.) were inoculated to determine the prepatent and patent period, sporulation time, site of infection, immunogenicity, pathogenicity, pathology and morphology of endogenous stages ofE. cahirinensis. Both asexual and sexual stages were localised in the apical part of duodenal and jejunal villi. An experimental inoculation of representatives of several rodent genera revealed the host range ofE. cahirinensisto be limited to the genusAcomys.
