Figures 15-21

Figs 15-21: Eimeria carmelinoi n.sp., in the lizard Kentropyx calcarata. Fig. 15: mature microgamont in a Bouin-fixed, Giemsa-stained smear of the small intestine. Note the conspicuous residuum (R) and failure of the flagella to stain following this method of fixation. Bar = 10 µm and also applies to Figs 16-18. Figs 16-18: mature oocysts in the faeces. Arrow-heads show the tiny granules frequently present in the oocysts, and a ruptured oocyst (Fig. 17) shows the wall to be of a single layer. Figs 19-21: histological sections of the ileum, showing mature meronts (me), a mature macrogamont (ma) and an immature microgamont (Mi) with peripherally disposed nuclei. Carnoy fixation, Giemsa stain, bar = 10 µm
