ABSTRACT
Oocysts from feces of Japanese quails (Cuturnix cuturnix japonica) were described. Sporulated oocysts were spherical to subspherical and measured 17.31ñ1.87 to 16.45ñ1.72µm in size with shape index 1.05ñ0.04. The oocyst wall was thin and smooth, and was consisted of two distinct layer, outside layer was brownish while the inner one was hyaline. Few polar granules were present but without a micropyle or an oocyst residuum. Sporocysts were ovoid with 10.43ñ1.11 to 5.92ñ0.58 µm in diameter. Sporocyst residuum was present with visible granules with tactful Stieda body. Each sporocyst had two sporozoites. For the sake of small size in comparison to the others species found in the Japanese quail, Eimeria minima was proposed.
