Abstract

A red-necked wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus) in the Republic of Korea, introduced from Australia, died in 12 d after exhibiting anorexia and diarrhea. Postmortem examination revealed that the wallaby died due to coccidiosis by Eimeria sp. Morphologically, Eimeria sp. identified closely resembled E. mykytowyczi. The 18S rRNA sequence analysis showed that Eimeria sp. identified in this study has a 98.5% identity with that in Australian red kangaroo (M. rufus). However, owing to insufficient molecular information on marsupial-specific Eimeria, exact species could not be determined. Phylogenetically, Eimeria sp. identified in this study belonged to clade five of the marsupial group.
