Sporozoite of Eimeria spp. ( Eimeria tenella):

(Dr. Gisela Greif, 1993)

Some facts:

• Rhoptries, micronems and conoid (dense granules?) form the 'apical complex' which is supposed to be most important for invading the host cell.
• Number of organelles of the apical complex differ from species to species
• Refractile bodies contain lipid materials probably for incorporation in the parasitophorous vacuole
