Testudinidae Testudo The relationship among morphology, host specificity, geography and phylogeny has been one of the long-standing and frequently discussed issues in the field of parasitology. Since the morphological descriptions of parasites are often brief and incomplete and the degree of host specificity may be influenced by numerous factors, such analyses are methodologically difficult and require modern molecular methods. The presented study addresses several questions related to evolutionary relationships within a large and important group of apicomplexan parasites, coccidia, particularly Eimeria and Isospora species from various groups of small mammal hosts. At a population level, the pattern of intraspecific structure, genetic variability and genealogy in the populations of Eimeria spp. infecting field mice of the genus Apodemus is investigated with respect to host specificity and geographic distribution.
