Where does the sporogony of Eimera maxima takes place?
In outer environment
During gametogony when the merozoites develop into the female gametocytes they are called?
Macrogametocytes
Which species of Eimera are not haemorrhagic?
E. maxima, E. acervulina, E. mitis and E. praecox
Where does the schizogony of Eimera acervulina take place?
In epithel of Duodenum and Jejunum
Which species of Eimera are haemorrhagic?
E. tenella, E. necatrix and E. brunetti
Where does the sporozoite develop?
In the oocyst
How many epithelial cells can be infected by the content of one schizont of Eimera?
many
Which statement is true.
E. maxima has a 30x20 μm oocyst that is characteristic
Where do schizonts of E. mitis develop?
In the Jejunum
Where do the Eimera brunetti schizonts develop?
Lower part of intestine
Is E. brunetti found in the duodenum?
no
What does the unsporulated oocyst contain?
zygote
Which one has discrete white foci or transverse bands which are ladder-like?
E. acervulina
In the goose what species of Eimeria affects the kidneys?
E.truncata
Where does the merozoite develop?
Inside schizont
In coccidiosis caused by E. necatrix, what can be found on the intestines (lumen)?
Unclotted blood
Which animal species can be infected by Eimera acervulina?
chickens
Where does the sporogony of Eimera acervulina takes place?
In outer environment
Which animal species can be infected by Eimera maxima?
Chicken
How many cells can be infected by a merozoite of Eimera?
1
What do you find on mucosa during an infection with E. maxima?
Petechiae (also on serosa)
Which method do you not use to identify the species in the chicken coccidosis?
McMaster method (it counts the number of oocysts but does not tell you which species it is)
