Abstract
Two strains of Eimeria acervulina were compared. The more recently isolated strain had a higher reproductive potential and produced slightly longer oocysts. Otherwise both strains conformed to the characteristics of the species.The two strains were not immunologically identical and birds which were solidly immune to one strain would support a degree of infection with the other.Acknowledgements are due to Mr C. C. Norton for technical assistance and to Dr Helen Hein who provided access to experimental data prior to publication and discussed some aspects of the results. The statistical calculations were carried out by Miss N. Hebert.
