NOTE: Our ability to differentiate species remains morphologic and depends heavily on the experience of the investigator. Since numerous descriptions have been written by individuals new to the field, and because differentiating coccidia is often difficult even for experienced coccidial biologists, it seems likely that a number of the coccidia listed actually represent composites of two or more morphologically similar species. Coccidia described from multiple hosts in different orders and/or families should especially be viewed skeptically.

There are a number of perciform hosts reported to harbor oocysts of the hepatic clupeid coccidian termed "Eimeria clupearum." These include Auxis rochei (Bullet tuna), Caranx rhonchus (False shad), Diplodus prayensis (Two-banded seabream), Diplodus vulgaris (Common two-banded seabream), Euthynnus alletteratus (Little tunny), Pagrus pagrus (Common seabream), Pseudupeneus prayensis (West African goatfish), Scomber japonicus (Chub mackerel), Scomber scombrus (Atlantic mackerel), Selene vomer (Lookdown), and Spicara melanurus (Blacksport picarel). These reports should be viewed skeptically until experimental transmission studies are performed.

Our taxonomy of the coccidia is highly conservative, and we consider generic designations based on sporocyst structure or site of infection to be synonyms of the genus Eimeria. However, we have refrained from renaming any species originally described in other genera. We have simply reported them as Eimeria sp. with the original name listed as a synonym.

    5. Daoudi (1987) originally published this coccidian under the name Eimeria maenae in his doctoral dissertation. For reasons totally unknown to us, he changed the name to Eimeria smaris in 1989 (Daoudi et al. 1989a, 1989b). Since most dissertations are normally private documents and tend not to be widely available for dissemination, one may argue that the latter name may be considered the valid one.
