Abstract
ALTHOUGH several hundred species of the protozoan parasite Eimeria occur in mammals and birds, only two are known to complete their life cycle in sites other than the intestinal tract. These species, E. truncata and E. stiedae, occur in the kidney of the goose and liver of the rabbit respectively and have not been found elsewhere.
