n. sp. is described from Japanese wild boars in Japan. The gamonts in the peripheral blood leukocytes were 11.6 ± 1.4 × 6.7 ± 1.3 μm in size. The meronts in the muscle tissues were 35.0-47.5 μm in length and 26.5-30 μm in width. A high rate (53.0%) of infection was found by nested PCR using muscle specimens from 181 wild boars captured in Tokushima, Japan. A phylogenetic analysis based on 18S rRNA gene sequences revealed that n. sp. detected in wild boars is closely related to spp. isolated from carnivores. This is the first description of a species belonging to the genus detected in ungulates.
新种是从日本的日本野猪中描述的。外周血白细胞中的配子体大小为11.6±1.4×6.7±1.3μm。肌肉组织中的裂殖体长度为35.0 - 47.5μm,宽度为26.5 - 30μm。使用从日本德岛捕获的181头野猪的肌肉标本进行巢式PCR检测,发现感染率很高(53.0%)。基于18S rRNA基因序列的系统发育分析表明,在野猪中检测到的新种与从食肉动物中分离出的物种密切相关。这是在有蹄类动物中首次描述属于该属的一个物种。
