Extract

The coccidium of mice (Mus musculus) was discovered by Eimer (1870) who named it Eimeria falciformis. It is round or oval. According to Reichenow the round oocysts measure 13·5–15μ and according to Reimer (1923) 14–18·9μ The oval oocysts measure 13–14×8–9μ or 16–21×11–17μ A residual body may, or may not, be present in the oocysts, but is present in the sporocysts. There is no polar granule in the oocyst.
