“…Eimeria spp. can only complete its life cycle and to produce oocysts shed within the feces in its specific host; however, for this specific process the parasite requires a series of stimuli ( 22 , 41 , 42 ). Between 1929 and 1954 a large number of studies were carried out trying to infect different host species with several types of Eimeria , however, most of the experiments were unsuccessful, and only experimental infections of chickens with the turkey species ( E. gallopavonis and E. meleagridis ) were successfully achieved ( 43 ).…”

Apicomplexan parasites of the genus Eimeria are organisms which invade the intestinal tract, causing coccidiosis, an enteric disease of major economic importance worldwide. The disease causes high morbidity ranging from an acute, bloody enteritis with high mortality, to subclinical disease. However, the presence of intestinal lesions depends on the Eimeria species. The most important poultry Eimeria species are: E. tenella, E. necatrix, E. acervulina, E. maxima, E. brunetti, E. mitis, and E. praecox. Key points to better understanding the behavior of this species are the host-parasite interactions and its life cycle. The present paper reviews the literature available regarding the life cycle and the initial host-parasite interaction. More studies are needed to better understand these interactions in poultry Eimerias, taking into account that almost all the information available was generated from other apicomplexan parasites that generate human disease.

ADDENDUMThis work was carried out and the paper written quite independently and concurrently with that of Prasad (1 2 ) . Since submitting our respective papers we have had consultations regarding the designation and description of the coccidium. The coccidium described in this paper is identical to the one described by Prasad except for the presence of a micropyle, a "terminal cap" and the three layers of the oocyst wall. I t is not proposed, however, to name a new species on these grounds alone, and it is considered at this stage that the coccidium described in this paper is E. neosciuri Prasad ( 12 ) .
