Abstract
A laboratory strain of Eimeria acervulina was found to develop in the caeca when large numbers of excysted sporozoites were injected into that organ. Both schizonts and gametocytes were formed, but parasitization of the caeca was never heavy and did not increase with serial passage. The infection was not increased by the simultaneous injection of betamethasone.Keywords
