Eimeria ivensae sp. n. from the Mule Deer, Odocoileus hemionus hemionus, in Montana

Oocysts of Eimeria ivensae sp. n. were present in a fecal sample from a mule deer, Odocoileus hemionus hemionus from Montana. The oocysts were 30 to 37 μ by 18 to 22 μ (mean 32.5 by 21.0 μ). A micropyle and polar granule were present, but an oocyst residuum was absent. The sporocysts were 14 to 18 μ...
