Stable parasite guilds: coccidia in spermophiline rodents

A guild of six species of intestinal protozoan (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) was monitored in 496 live-trapped Wyoming ground squirrels (Spermophilus elegans) in two populations in 1989 and 1990. Three species were present at high levels (>40% of all squirrels infected at any time) and three at low l...
