Six new species of Klossiella are described in the kidneys of Australian marsupials: Klossiella rufogrisei in Bennett's Wallaby, Macropus rufogriseus; Klossiella rufi in the Red Kangaroo, Macropus rufus; Klossiella thylogale in the Red-Bellied or Tasmanian Pademelon, Thylogale billardierii; Klossiella beveridgei in the Spectacled Hare-Wallaby, Lagorchestes conspicillatus; Klossiella bettongiae in the Tasmanian Bettong, Bettongia gaimardi; and Klossiella schoinobatis in the petaurid Greater Glider, Petauroides volans. It is concluded that the genus Klossiella has radiated widely among Australian marsupials, and that since it is present in American marsupials, it may have an ancient association with the subclass.
贝内特沙袋鼠(Macropus rufogriseus)肾脏中的红灰克洛斯孢菌(Klossiella rufogrisei);红袋鼠(Macropus rufus)肾脏中的红克洛斯孢菌(Klossiella rufi);红腹袋鼬或塔斯马尼亚帚尾袋鼬(Thylogale billardierii)肾脏中的袋鼬克洛斯孢菌(Klossiella thylogale);眼镜兔袋鼠(Lagorchestes conspicillatus)肾脏中的贝弗里奇克洛斯孢菌(Klossiella beveridgei);塔斯马尼亚袋狸(Bettongia gaimardi)肾脏中的袋狸克洛斯孢菌(Klossiella bettongiae);以及袋鼯科大滑翔鼠(Petauroides volans)肾脏中的大滑翔鼠克洛斯孢菌(Klossiella schoinobatis)。研究得出结论,克洛斯孢菌属在澳大利亚有袋动物中广泛辐射分布,并且由于它也存在于美洲有袋动物中,所以它可能与有袋动物亚纲有着古老的联系。
