Abstract
Specific pathogen free rabbits of certified origin were inoculated with a pure strain ofEimeria perforans that originated from a single oocyst. A sequential study of the endogenous development for the whole five day cycle was made by examining at light and electron microscopic levels samples of duodenal mucus, taken at 12 h intervals. A first schizogony was found to take place between 12 and 60 h, a second one between 72 and 84 h. Both asexual generations were represented by two types of schizonts: (1) containing 16–36 small mononucleated merozoites, produced by ectomerogony and determined as female, (2) containing 2–12 large multinucleated merozoites, produced by endomerogony and determined as male.
