Abstract
Pittilo R. M. and Ball S. J. 1985. Ultrastructural observations on the sporogony of Eimeria maxima. International Journal for Parasilology 15: 617–620. Sporogony in Eimeria maxima was found to commence with a contraction of the oocyst cytoplasmic mass which was limited by a single membrane. By 9 h (at 29°C) dense bodies, surrounded by polysaccharide granules, were closely applied to the zygote limiting membrane. By 12 h nuclear division had occurred and by 15 h separate sporoblasts could be discerned. Sporozoite formation occurred from 21 to 30 h.
