Eimeria cahirinensis Couch et al. 1997 was found in faecal samples of Acomys dimidiatus from three different localities in the Near East. Twenty-two of 104 (21%) A. dimidiatus trapped on both the south- and north-facing slopes of "Evolution Canyon", Lower Nahal Oren, Mt. Carmel, Israel in August 2001 and 2002 were infected with E. cahirinensis. Oocysts were also obtained from a single individual of A. dimidiatus trapped in Wadi Ramm, Jordan in the summer of 1999. Laboratory-reared spiny mice (Acomys spp.) were inoculated to determine the prepatent and patent period, sporulation time, site of infection, immunogenicity, pathogenicity, pathology and morphology of endogenous stages of E. cahirinensis. Both asexual and sexual stages were localised in the apical part of duodenal and jejunal villi. An experimental inoculation of representatives of several rodent genera revealed the host range of E. cahirinensis to be limited to the genus Acomys.
1997年，卡希里艾美耳球虫（Eimeria cahirinensis）Couch等人在来自近东三个不同地点的荒漠刺鼠（Acomys dimidiatus）粪便样本中被发现。2001年8月和2002年，在以色列卡梅尔山奥伦谷下游“进化峡谷”朝南和朝北的山坡上捕获的104只荒漠刺鼠中，有22只（21%）感染了卡希里艾美耳球虫。1999年夏天，在约旦瓦迪拉姆捕获的一只荒漠刺鼠个体中也获得了卵囊。对实验室饲养的刺鼠（Acomys spp.）进行接种，以确定卡希里艾美耳球虫的潜隐期和显症期、孢子化时间、感染部位、免疫原性、致病性、病理学以及内源性阶段的形态。无性和有性阶段均定位于十二指肠和空肠绒毛的顶端部分。对几个啮齿动物属的代表进行实验接种表明，卡希里艾美耳球虫的宿主范围仅限于刺鼠属。
