Chamaeleonidae; Chamaeleo calyptratus) kept at a zoo in Ishikawa, Japan. Phylogenetic analysis 
placed the sequence in the cluster of Isospora spp. isolated from reptiles. Based on a comparison 
of morphological data of ten previously reported Isospora species from the Chamaeleonidae 
family, this isolate was morphologically similar to I. jaracimrmani, which has been considered to 
be a virulent species. This case study suggests the possibility that species of Isospora might not 
always cause disease because the animal that shed these oocysts showed no symptoms for more 
than two months.
