Popis: A coprological survey of enteroparasites in raptors (60 Falconiformes) from Central Mexico is reported. Three samples contained coccidian unsporulated oocysts, one contained Eimeria sp., one contained trematode eggs and one contained capillarid and trematode eggs and Eimeria sp. After sporulation at the laboratory, oocysts from a Falco peregrinus were identified as Caryospora neofalconis. The phylogenetic analysis of the C. neofalconis (GenBank accession number KT037081) showed a close relationship to the Australian strain RY 2014 isolate 16710 (GenBank accession number KJ634019) of Caryosporadaceloe, with 99.2% similarity. As far as we are aware, this is the first report of C. neofalconis in raptors from Mexico and the Americas.
Graphical abstract Phylogenetic relationship of Caryospora neofalconis, strain ESV-19, based on maximum likelihood analysis of 18S rRNA gene sequences.
Highlights • Coprological survey of enteroparasites present in 60 Falconiformes from Central Mexico. • Caryospora neofalconis identified in one Falco peregrinus. • First record of C. neofalconis from raptors from Mexico and the Americas.
