Q

Describe the Life cycle of Eimeria:

A

Monoxenous-Only in one host

External environment
1. Sporogony occurs (asexual), where Oocysts “sporulate” or become infective (in right conditions)
2. Oocyst is ingested

In the host
1. Sporozoite enters the intestinal cells of the host becoming a trophozoite and multiply
2. Eventually producing first genteration Merozoites, that then enter the cells of the host
3. A second generation of Merozoites enering the host cells again
4. Becoming either Male (microgametocyte) or Female (macrogametocyte)
5. Fertilization, the male (microgametocytes) travel to a female (macrogametocyte) forming a Zygote within the Oocysts
4. Infected host sheds the Oocysts containing a Zygote that undergoes sporulation in the environment
