Oocysts of Eimeria lateralis were isolated from feces of Spermophilus richardsonii and compared to published descriptions of E. lateralis and Eimeria larimerensis from other spermophiline rodent hosts. A comparison from other spermophiline rodent hosts. A comparison of these 2 eimerian species, combined with an examination of host specificity of spermophiline eimerians and host and parasite distributions, suggests that E. larimerensis is synonymous with E. lateralis.
