Identification and genetic characterization of a novel species of Schneider, 1875 from a captive-bred bilby (Thylacomyidae; ) (Reid, 1837) in Western Australia.

A novel sp. from a captive-bred bilby ( Reid, 1837) has been identified in Western Australia. The bilby was bred at the Kanyana Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre, Perth, as part of the National Bilby Recovery Plan.

spp. and Allen, 1936 (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) from a Pacific black duck, Gmelin (Aves: Anseriformes), in western Australia.

Four species of the Eimeriidae, Scholtyseck, 1955, Farr, 1965, Svanbaev & Rakhmatullina, 1967 and Allen, 1936, were morphologically identified from oöcysts recovered from a Pacific black duck, Gmelin. Additionally, genotypic characterization of is provided sequencing of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (1) and the small subunit ribosomal RNA (18S) genes. The four species are redescribed, providing additional morphological details.
