Klossiella quimrensis is a parasite of an Australian marsupial: the western barred bandicoot (Perameles bougainville). It causes renal coccidiosis in its host.[1]
Its specific name, quimrensis (Latin for ‘of QIMR’), refers to the Queensland Institute of Medical Research, where it was first observed.[2]
