Abstract
Comparative transmission electron microscopy on Besnoitia besnoiti and on a strain of Besnoitia derived from goats in Kenya revealed that th e two organisms differ in their pellicle, micropore, microtubules, nuc leus, wall-forming body 1 (W1), amount of lipids and amylopectin. Thus the caprine besnoitia is probably a different organism and the term B esnoitia caprae should continue to be used.
