Figure 137. Diagram of the alternating sexual and asexual reproduction in the life 

 cycle of Eimeria schubergi, from the intestine of Lhhobius jorficatus. For convenience, 

 the first two asexual divisions within the sporoblast cyst wall are figured in the sexual 

 cycle. They are transitional to the repeated multiplicative multiple fissions attending the 

 infection of the intestinal cells of the host. Owing to post-zygotic reduction, both phases 

 are haploid except for the diploid zygote. (Modified from Schaudinn, 1900.)
