The Javan ferret-badger Melogale orientalis (Carnivora: Mustelidae: Helictidinae) is a small carnivore endemic to Indonesia. In the family Mustelidae, 10 Eimeria, 12 Cystoisopora, one Isospora, and one Hammondia species are known, but no eimeriid coccidia has been yet described in the subfamily Helictinidae (ferret badgers). Coproscopic examination of Javan ferret-badgers imported into the Czech Republic revealed the presence of coccidian oocysts. Sporulated oocysts differ from other Eimeria known in the family Mustelidae by their small size (12.4–16.1 × 10.4–13.4 μm) and ovoidal shape. Morphological data and phylogenetic analyses of 18S rRNA and COI genes indicated a new species of Eimeria found in faecal samples of Javan ferret badgers. The species is described as E. melogale n. sp.

爪哇雪貂-Melogale Orientalis（食肉目：鼬科：Helictidinae）是印度尼西亚特有的小型食肉动物。在家庭鼬，10艾美球虫，12 Cystoisopora，一个等孢球虫，和一个Hammondia物种是已知的，但没有eimeriid球虫已亚科Helictinidae（鼬獾）尚未描述。对从捷克共和国进口的爪哇雪貂-的结肠镜检查表明，存在球虫卵囊。孢子卵囊与其他艾美球虫不同在鼬科中以小巧（12.4-16.1×10.4-13.4μm）和卵形而闻名。18S rRNA和COI基因的形态学数据和系统发育分析表明，在爪哇雪貂badge粪便样品中发现了一种新的艾美球虫。该物种被描述为大肠埃希氏菌。sp。
