Abstract:SYNOPSIS. Eimeria bateri, a parasite of the Indian quail, was described from laboratory infections in Japanese quail. First generation schizonts developed in the glands of the duodenum and upper intestine. Second, 3rd and 4th generation schizonts and gametocytes occurred in the villous epithelium. There was a gradual spread along the small intestine until the whole organ was affected. The prepatent period was 4 days and the patent period 6 days. Graded doses from 5,000 to 1,280,000 oocysts produced very little pathogenic effect in young quail. E. bateri did not infect young pheasants or chicks.
