Abstract excerpt
Isosporiasis is caused by apicomplexan protozoa of the genus Isospora, transmitted primarily via the fecal-oral route. While Isospora infects various vertebrates, infections are particularly notable in birds. However, the phylogeography and genetic structure of avian Isospora remain poorly documented. In total, 273 selected mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences belonging to avian Isospora...
