1963E. N. Kozloff in J. Ludvík et al. Progr. Protozool. (Proc. First Internat. Congr. Protozool., Prague, 1961) 78 It appears advisable to reconsider the terminology applied to stages in the life-histories of gregarines and coccidians... Zoite, an infective stage, produced by division of a zygote, and usually surrounded by an envelope which is either a zoitocyst or zygocyst. 1969New Scientist 29 May 465/1 Another stage in the development of Toxoplasma is the cystic form or zoite. 1977Jrnl. Protozool. XXIV. 36/1 Electronmicroscopic studies revealed that the structure of T. gondii zoites (trophozoites, merozoites, ‘spores’, etc.) is similar to that of the zoites of the coccidia Eimeria and Isospora. 1979Ibid. XXVI. 437/1 Uninucleate, dinucleate, and multinucleate zoites. 1980Jrnl. Parasitol. LXVI. 67/1 Ultrastructurally, cysts of T[oxoplasma] gondii and H[ammondia] hammondi cannot be distinguished with certainty in skeletal muscle. Classification is based on the typical distribution of cysts and their zoites in the intermediate host. |
