Two New Record Species of Eimeria (Apoicomplexa, Eimeriidae) from Plateau Pika in China

In this paper,we report a new distribution record in China of two Eimeria species,E.worleyi Lepp,Todd Samuel,1972 and E.klondikensis Hobbs Samuel,1974,which collected from the fresh feces of plateau pika Ochotona curzoniae.It is the first record of the Ochotona curzoniae as the host of these parasites.The symbiotypes (hosts) are deposited in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau Museum of Biology,Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS),and the sporulated oocysts of the two new recorded species are deposited in the Key Laboratory of Adaptation and Evolution of Plateau Biota,Northwest Institute of Plateau Biology,CAS.
