Endodyogeny in Isospora rastegaievae from the Eurasian hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus L.).
Isospora rastegaievae undergoes its asexual development in the intestinal tract of hedgehogs by endodyogeny. Using light- and electron-microscopy it was demonstrated that daughter organisms were formed by typical endodyogeny as described for different coccidia.
