Abstract
Calves were infected with Eimeria zuernii given by stomach tube and also placed directly into surgically prepared pouches of small intestine. The calves were killed at 2 day intervals or less from the 2nd to the 21st day after injection. First generation schizogony occurred in the lamina propria of the lower ileum and the first generation schizont was a giant schizont. Second generation schizogony and gametogony took place in the epithelial cells of the caecum and proximal colon. Measurements of the various stages of the life cycle of E. zuernii are given.
