The combination of molecular and morphological data provided clear evidence that these microsporidia belong to the same genus and therefore, warranted emendation of the genus Anncaliia and establishments of the following new combinations.

Stool specimens of 148 returning travelers from an outpatient department for tropical diseases for the appearence of microsporidia were examined using light microscopy and PCR, indicating that the true prevalence has to be determined by highly sensitive techniques, such as PCR.

The phylogenetic trees obtained provide molecular evidence for three clades within a monophyletic group that represents the suborder Eimeriina, and shows that although I. belli as well as other members of the genus Isospora belong to the sub order Eimeruina, the family to which they belong is not Eimer iidae but rather Sarcocystidae.
