ABSTRACT
The present study provides more morphological description of the endogenous stages of E. griseus and pathological changes of the infected gall bladder epithelium of the gray monitor. The infected epithelium manifested marked hyperplasia, surface alterations and cytoplasmic changes. No corresponding inflammatory cell reaction was recognized. The developmental stages of merogony and schizogony of Eimeria griseus were demonstrated in the infected epithelial cells.
