Abstract
An examination of 2 strains of Eimeria acervulina var. mivati (since 1973 E. mivati has been regarded as a variant of E. acervulina) showed that previous confusion over the taxonomic status of E. mivati arose because the investigations were done using laboratory cultures of E. mivati which were contaminated with E. acervulina.Keywords
