- Abstract
The article discusses a research study on reclassifying Eimeria schmidti (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) with its endeogenous stages description. Collected were 61 sandy fringed-toed lizards infected with coccidian oocysts for endogenous stages studies for histology and stained with haematoxylin and eosin then photographed with Zeiss 100 photomicroscope. Results showed ellipsoidal-shaped oocysts and sporulated with four sporocysts containing two banana-shaped sporozoites and the absence of oocyst residuum, polar granules and micropyle. Conclusions indicated the reclassification of E. schmidti as a member of the Choleoeimeria genus.
