Description:

A new Cryptosporidium species, C. saurophilum, is described from Schneider’s skinks Eumeces schneidert Daudin, 1802. Oocysts were fully sporulated in fresh faeces and measured 5.0 x 4.7 pm (4.4-5.6 x 4.2-5.2 pm). The new species differs from C. serpentis Levine, 1980 by having smaller oocysts, developing in a different location of intestine, and by the inability to infect snakes.
