Thirty-eight of 51 (74.5%) shrew moles collected in Japan were infected with from one to four species of Eimeria and/or Isospora including six of six Dymecodon pilirostris and 32 of 45 (71.1%) Urotrichus talpoides. Four eimerians and two isosporans were identified and all are described as new species. Sporulated oocysts of Eimeria amorphospora n. sp. were subspheroid/ellipsoid, 21.1 x 17.9 (18-25 x 16-21) micrometers. Sporocysts were amorphous, gelatinoid envelopes greater than or equal to 20.3 x 7.5 (17-24 x 7-9) micrometers. Sporozoites were enclosed together within a membrane in each sporocyst. This species was found in 9 of 45 (20%) U. talpoides. Sporulated oocysts of Eimeria gonocilia n. sp. were subspheroid/ellipsoid, 28.8 x 24.4 (25-30 x 21-28) micrometers; a highly ornate outer oocyst wall gave the appearance of a ciliated ball. Sporocysts ovoid, pointed at both ends, were 17.0 x 9.9 (15-19 x 7-11) micrometers; this species was found in 4 of 45 (8.9%) U. talpoides. Sporulated oocysts of Eimeria talpoidei n. sp. were asymmetrical ovoid, 20.6 x 13.3 (18-23 x 12-15) micrometers, with sporocysts lacrimiform, 12.0 x 5.8 (10-14 x 5-7) micrometers. This species was found in 7 of 45 (15.6%) U. talpoides. Sporulated oocysts of Eimeria honshuensis n. sp. were ellipsoid, 15.5 x 11.4 (13-18 x 10-13) micrometers, with sporocysts ovoid, 9.1 x 5.2 (8-10 x 4-6) micrometers. This species was found in 10 of 45 (22.2%) U. talpoides and in 5 of 6 (83.3%) D. pilirostris. sporulated oocysts of Isospora dymecodi n. sp. were subspheroid/ellipsoid, 15.8 x 12.6 (13-17 x 11-13) micrometers, with sporocysts ovoid, 9.1 x 5.2 (8-10 x 4-6) micrometers. This species was found in 10 of 45 (22.2%) U. talpoides and in 5 of 6 (83.3%) D. pilirostris. Sporulated oocysts of Isospora dymecodi n. sp. were subspheroid/ellipsoid, 15.8 x 12.6 (13-17 x 11-13) micrometers, with sporocysts ellipsoid, 10.9 x 6.9 (10-13 x 6-8). This species was found in six of six D. pilirostris. Sporulated oocysts of Isospora urotrichi n. sp. were spheroid/subspheroid, 13.4 x 12.4 (11-16 x 9-14) micrometers, with sporocysts ovoid, 9.2 x 6.3 (8-11 x 5-7) micrometers. This species was found in 27 of 45 (60%) U. Talpoides. Only 14 of 38 (36.8%) infected hosts (one D. pilirostris, 13 U. talpoides) were seen to be naturally infected with only one coccidian species when sampled.
在日本采集的51只鼩鼱鼹中，38只（74.5%）感染了1至4种艾美球虫属和/或等孢球虫属寄生虫，其中包括6只毛吻鼩鼱鼹中的6只（100%）以及45只长尾鼩鼱鼹中的32只（71.1%）。鉴定出4种艾美球虫和2种等孢球虫，均被描述为新物种。无定形艾美球虫新种的孢子化卵囊呈近球形/椭圆形，大小为21.1×17.9（18 - 25×16 - 21）微米。孢子囊无定形，胶状包膜大小大于或等于20.3×7.5（17 - 24×7 - 9）微米。子孢子在每个孢子囊内被包裹在一层膜内。该物种在45只长尾鼩鼱鼹中的9只（20%）体内发现。纤毛艾美球虫新种的孢子化卵囊呈近球形/椭圆形，大小为28.8×24.4（25 - 30×21 - 28）微米；卵囊外壁高度 ornate 使其外观像一个有纤毛的球。孢子囊呈卵形，两端尖，大小为17.0×9.9（15 - 19×7 - 11）微米；该物种在45只长尾鼩鼱鼹中的4只（8.9%）体内发现。鼩鼱鼹艾美球虫新种的孢子化卵囊呈不对称卵形，大小为20.6×13.3（18 - 23×12 - 15）微米，孢子囊呈泪滴形，大小为12.0×5.8（10 - 14×5 - 7）微米。该物种在45只长尾鼩鼱鼹中的7只（15.6%）体内发现。本州艾美球虫新种的孢子化卵囊呈椭圆形，大小为15.5×11.4（13 - 18×10 - 13）微米，孢子囊呈卵形，大小为9.1×5.2（8 - 10×4 - 6）微米。该物种在45只长尾鼩鼱鼹中的10只（22.2%）以及6只毛吻鼩鼱鼹中的5只（83.3%）体内发现。毛吻鼩鼱鼹等孢球虫新种的孢子化卵囊呈近球形/椭圆形，大小为15.8×12.6（13 - 17×11 - 13）微米，孢子囊呈卵形，大小为9.1×5.2（8 - 10×4 - 6）微米。该物种在45只长尾鼩鼱鼹中的10只（22.2%）以及6只毛吻鼩鼱鼹中的5只（83.3%）体内发现。长尾鼩鼱鼹等孢球虫新种的孢子化卵囊呈球形/近球形，大小为13.4×12.4（11 - 16×9 - 14）微米，孢子囊呈卵形，大小为9.2×6.3（8 - 11×5 - 7）微米。该物种在45只长尾鼩鼱鼹中的27只（60%）体内发现。在采样时，38只受感染宿主中只有14只（36.8%）（1只毛吻鼩鼱鼹，13只长尾鼩鼱鼹）被观察到仅自然感染一种球虫。 （注：“ornate”这个词原文可能有误，推测可能是“ornate”的错误拼写，若为“ornate”，可译为“装饰性的、华丽的”，这里暂保留原文形式未翻译）
