Abstract
The fine-structural aspects of development of microgamonts of Eimeria magna were studied in kidney cell cultures and in experimentally infected rabbits. Spheroidal masses of gamont-like cytoplasm containing ribosomes, polyribosomes, and amylopectin granules were found within the parasitophorus vacuole; these bodies were apparently pinched off the surface of the gamont. Nucleoli were present in the early stages of nuclear division but disappeared as development proceeded.
