title: [Use of biochemical indices in the classification of Sporozoa].
abstract: The paper presents a survey of literary and author's own data on metabolism of nitric bases, nucleosides and orotic acid in Eimeria, Toxoplasma and Plasmodium. Experimental data on nucleotide content of DNA, fractional content of ribosome RNA, isofermental spectrum of a number of oxidation-reduction enzymes and immunochemical analysis of antigens in various groups of Sporozoa (Eimeria, Toxoplasma and Plasmodium) are given. A possible use of biochemical and immunochemical data for the taxonomy of Sporozoa is suggested.
