a Oocysts were identified by microscopy during isolation, but DNA was insufficient for molecular characterization.

b The amplified ITS-1 region of ̃Ano11 is genetically distinct from other coccidian isolates (See Fig. 1).

c The presence of Sarcocystis neurona -like DNA was confirmed by PCR and sequence analysis. Sporocysts were not identified in fecal samples by microscopy.
