What is it about?
isosporan oocysts isolated from common mynahs were morphologically and molecularly characterized. The medication efficiencies of diclazuril and sulfadiazinetrimethoprim in isosporiasis in naturally infected mynahs were evaluated.

Why is it important?
Based on morphological and molecular data, this isolate does not resemble any previously described isosporas, hence Isospora tristum n. sp. is proposed for the current species. Both evaluated anticoccidials seemed to be efficient in reduction of oocyst production and can be recommended for the treatment of mynah isosporiasis
Perspectives
Further thorough experimental studies will be required to determine the life cycle, degree of host specificity and pathogenicity of I. tristum n. sp.
