Abstract
In all the studies performed on the invasion of the rabbit by sporozoi tes of 4 Eimeria species it was shown that the sporozoites first penet rate the duodenal epithelium; and then very quickly appear within the IELs of the duodenal epithelium. A few hours later they are found in I ELs of their specific site of multiplication. The relationship between an ''extraintestinal'' route for sporozoites and the IELs homing phen omenon is therefore an exciting hypothesis.
