Abstract
Both merogonic and gamogonic stages of Eimeria hermani occurred within the nucleus of epithelial cells of the intestine of experimentally in fected goslings (Anser anser domesticus L.). They were located within a parasitophorous vacuole. Several developing meronts were often obser ved in one host nucleus and each of them had its own parasitophorous v acuole. We suppose that two generations of meronts were formed by ecto merogony from 2 to 4 days post infection (DPI). During the gamogony (4 -6 DPI), we observed invagination of the host cell nucleoplasm into th e parasites and we suppose that this may be connected with the process of the parasit's feeding.
