Mc. Reynaud et al., CHARACTERIZING ELEMENTS OF EIMERIA-MULARD I - OOCYST EXCRETION CURVE,MULTIPLICATION RATE AND SPORULATION, Revue de Medecine Veterinaire, 147(1), 1996, pp. 59-62
The authors add to the characterization of Eimeria mulardi, a mule-duc
k coccidium. They establish its oocyst excretion curve for a dose leve
l of 5.10(3) sporulated oocysts. They determine the multiplication rat
e of the coccidium by means of oocyst excretion after experimental inf
ections with doses of 5.10(2) - 5.10(6) sporulated oocysts. At last, t
hey study the influence of temperature (from 23 degrees C to 34 degree
s C) oil sporulation rime.
