Dipodomys merriami Mearns and Dipodomys ordi Woodhouse were surveyed for coccidia in El Paso County, Texas. Infections with Eimeria chobotari, Eimeria dipodomysis and Eimeria balphae were 24.8%, 4.4%, and 11%, respectively, for D. ordi. Dipodomys merriami had an infection level of 23.8% with E. chobotari. Four animals concurrently harbored E. chobotari and E. balphae or E. dipodomysis or a new species Eimeria chihuahuaensis. Male and female host infection levels were not significantly different. The new species is described and photographs of 3 previously described Eimeria from Dipodomys are presented.
在得克萨斯州埃尔帕索县，对梅氏更格卢鼠（Dipodomys merriami Mearns）和奥氏更格卢鼠（Dipodomys ordi Woodhouse）进行了球虫调查。对于奥氏更格卢鼠，感染乔氏艾美耳球虫（Eimeria chobotari）、更格卢鼠艾美耳球虫（Eimeria dipodomysis）和巴尔氏艾美耳球虫（Eimeria balphae）的比例分别为24.8%、4.4%和11%。梅氏更格卢鼠感染乔氏艾美耳球虫的水平为23.8%。有4只动物同时感染了乔氏艾美耳球虫和巴尔氏艾美耳球虫或更格卢鼠艾美耳球虫，或者感染了一个新物种奇瓦瓦艾美耳球虫（Eimeria chihuahuaensis）。雄性和雌性宿主的感染水平没有显著差异。描述了该新物种，并展示了来自更格卢鼠的3种先前描述的艾美耳球虫的照片。
