The prevalence of infection was 13.3% (2/15). Oocysts were ellipsoidal and measured 31 (30–33) × 21 (20–22) μm. Sporocysts were dizoic, elliptical in shape and measured 12 (11–13) × 7 (6–8) μm. The endogenous development was confined to the gall bladder epithelium. The hypertrophic parasitized biliary epithelium either remained in one layer or became stratified. Meronts, gamonts, and young oocysts were detected.}, doi = {10.4467/16890027AP.13.024.1315}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/acta-protozoologica/article/choleoeimeria-bunopusi-sp-n-apicomplexa-eimeriidae-infecting-the-gall-bladder-of-the-tuberculated-gecko-bunopus-tuberculatus-reptilia-gekkonidae-from-saudi-arabia} }
