SYNOPSIS. Coccidia-free beagle puppies were experimentally infected with a cloned culture of Isospora rivolta oocysts. The endogenous stages were found in the posterior 1/2 of the small intestine, and rarely in the cecum and colon. Maximum numbers of all stages occurred just anterior to the ileocecal valve. Endogenous stages were found in the distal third of the villi, predominantly parasitizing subepithelial cells of the lamina propria; however, stages were occasionally present in epithelial cells. The number of asexual generations could not be determined from their structure, but evidence based on oocyst production suggested that there were at least 2 asexual generations. The schizonts were 17–24 by 12–25 μ and contained 4–24 merozoites, the most common number being 4 or 8. Schizonts with mature merozoites were found as early as 72 hr, but were present in maximum numbers at 96 hr. Merozoites had slender curved bodies and were 10.5–13.4 by 2.3–3.0 μ. Mature gamonts were found by 144 hr. Mature microgametocytes were 13.4 by 8.7 μ and contained 50–70 microgametes. Microgametes had slightly curved tapering bodies (5.8–6.4 by 0.6 μ) with 2 posteriorly directed flagella 11–14 μ long. Mature macrogametes had reticular cytoplasm and a uniformly large nucleus and nucleolus.The prepatent period was 142–146 hr. The patent period was 13–23 days with an average of 19 days.
