|
Nineteen map turtles, Graptemys caglei and Graptemys versa were collected from the Guadalupe and Colorado River watersheds of south-central Texas and examined for coccidial parasites. Thirteen of the 19 turtles (68%), including 11 of 16 (69%) G. caglei and 2 of 3 (67%) G. versa, were infected with at least 1 coccidian. Five Eimeria spp. (E. chrysemydis, E. graptemydos, E. lutotestudinis, E. pseudogeographica, and E. trachemydis) were harbored by G. caglei, and 2 eimerians (E. graptemydos and E. mitraria) infected G. versa. This represents new host records for these previously described coccidians and is the first time parasites have been documented in turtles of both species.
