Abstract
Oocysts of Eimeria lateralis were isolated from feces of Spermophilus richardsonii and compared to published descriptions of E. lateralis an d Eimeria larimerensis from other spermophiline rodent hosts. A compar ison of these 2 eimerian species, combined with an examination of host specificity of spermophiline eimerians and host and parasite distribu tions, suggests that E. larimerensis is synonymous with E. lateralis.
