Oocysts measure 21-33 ju- by 16-5-22-5jU.. 



Remarks. — ^NoUer, Schurjohann, and Vorbrodt (1922), as 

 a result of cross-infection experiments with the Coccidia of 

 goats and sheep, established the identity of E. arloingi of 

 goats with E. faurei of sheep, and since then the two have been 

 regarded as identical. Taylor (1938) has recently reported 

 that two strains of Eimeria, viz., E. arloingi and E. faurei, 

 have been isolated from local goats at Muktesar , and experiments 

 are being conducted to test the pathogenesis of these two 

 species in goats and sheep. A strain of these parasites is 

 claimed to have been estabHshed by feeding sporulated 

 oocysts to goats and sheep. 



E. arloingi is considered as highly pathogenic and was 

 recently found in an outbreak among goats and sheep at 

 Etah breeding farm. 



Habitat. — Faeces of goats and sheep : United Provinces, 

 Muktesar, Etah.

Oocysts spherical, without a micropyle, and without 

 a residual body. Sporocysts with one end pointed and the 

 other end rounded, with a refractile knob at the pointed end. 

 The sporocyst contains a large residuum. 



Dimensions. — Oocysts measure 15-26|U, in length by 14-24/a 

 in breadth. Sporocysts measure on an average 12-5^ by 

 6-5jLt.
