Photomicrograph shows a macromeront within the abomasum mucosa, with thick wall, filled with myriads of merozoites and surrounded by a low number of lymphocytes and plasma cells. Incidental finding in a 1 year old male Ovine euthanized due to extensive skin condition (pyoderma) retractive to treatment. Morphology and location most consistent with Eimeria gilruthi. E. gilruthi, formerly Globidium, is a coccidian parasite of unknown taxonomic status associated with incidental coccidian abomasitis in sheep and goats. Little is known about the lifecycle, route of infection, pathogenesis and immune reactions of this coccidian parasite.
