Early schizonts of Leucocytozoon caulleryi.
Sporozoites of Leucocytozoon caulleryi were inoculated intravenously into 26-day-old specific pathogen-free chickens. Six days after inoculation, early schizonts were detected in lung, spleen, and thymus. They existed separately and were spherical or ovoid, 30-35 microns in diameter, and had well defined walls.
