    Notes: The phylogenetic relationships and taxonomic affinities of coccidia with isosporan-type oocysts have been unclear as overlapping characters, recently discovered life cycle features, and even recently discovered taxa. continue to be incorporated into biological classifications of the group. We determined the full or partial 18S ribosomal RNA gene sequences of three mammalian Isospora spp., Isospora felis, Isospora ohioensis and Isospora suis, and a Sarcocystis sp. of a rattlesnake, and used these sequences for a phylogenetic analysis of the genus Isospora and the cyst-forming coccidia. Various alveolate 18S rDNA sequences were aligned and analyzed using maximum parsimony to obtain a phylogenetic hypothesis for the group. The three Isospora spp. were found to be most closely related to Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum. This clade in turn formed the sister group to the Sarcocystis spp. included in the analysis. The results confirm that the genus Isospora does not belong to the family Eimeriidae, but should be classified together with the cyst-forming coccidia in the family Sarcocystidae. Furthermore, there appear to be two lineages within the Sarcocystidae. One lineage comprises Isospora and the Toxoplasma/Neospora clade which share the characters of having a proliferative phase of development preceding gamogony in the definitive host and an exogenous phase of sporogony. The other lineage comprises the Sarcocystis spp. which have no proliferative phase in the definitive host and an endogenous phase of sporogony.

    Notes: Abstract The phylogeny of the genus Parelaphostrongylus was reconstructed using Elaphostrongylus rangiferi as an outgroup. Parelaphostrongylus is monophyletic and divided into two clades, one containing the meningeal worm, P. tenuis of white-tailed deer, and the other consisting of two muscle-inhabiting forms, P. andersoni and P. odocoilei of white-tailed and mule deer, respectively. Differences in biological features, including tissue migration route and prepatent period, are mapped onto the cladogram and discussed. Phylogenetic relationships among the host group, the Cervidae, are reviewed. It is suggested that E. rangiferi evolved in a Palaearctic cervid. Parelaphostrongylus probably co-speciated with Nearctic deer, Odocoileus spp. Host-switching from O. virginianus may explain the widespread occurrence of P. andersoni in Rangifer in North America.

    Notes: Abstract The phylogenetic placement of gregarine parasites (Apicomplexa: Gregarinasina) within the Apicomplexa was derived by comparison of small-subunit ribosomal RNA gene sequences. Gregarine sequences were obtained from Gregarina niphandrodes Clopton, Percival, and Janovy, 1991, and Monocystis agilis Stein, 1848 (Eugregarinorida Léger 1900), as well as from Ophriocystiselektroscirrha McLaughlin and Myers, 1970 (Neogregarinorida Grassé 1953). The sequences were aligned with several other gregarine and apicomplexan sequences from GenBank and the resulting data matrix analyzed by parsimony and maximum-likelihood methods. The gregarines form a monophyletic clade that is a sister group to Cryptosporidium spp. The gregarine/Cryptosporidium clade is separate from the other major apicomplexan clade containing the coccidia, adeleids, piroplasms, and haemosporinids. The trees indicate that the genus Cryptosporidium has a closer phylogenetic affinity with the gregarines than with the coccidia. These results do not support the present classification of the Cryptosporidiidae in the suborder Eimerioirina Léger, 1911.
