            <p>Gamont Length (GL) 172.0–400.0 µm (257.0± 65.0 µm); Gamont Width (GW) 18.0–49.0 µm (25.0± 9.0 µm); Nucleus Length (NL) 18.0–26.0 µm (20.0± 3.3 µm); Nucleus Width (NW) 9.0–11.0 µm (9.5± 0.8 µm); Gametocyst Diameter (GD) 48.0–68.0 µm (56.0± 1.3 µm); Oocyst Length (OL) 7.0–11.5 µm (9.3± 1.1 µm).</p>
            <p>Gamonts are elongated, with a cylindrical main body and a short wider anterior portion which contains the small nucleus. Both the ends are gradually narrowed like a ‘V’ to a nearly pointed tip. The anterior one­third of the cell is approximately two times wider than the posterior portion. Body length varies from 172.0–400.0 µm (257.0± 65.0 µm). The maximum body width ranges from 18.0–49.0 µm (25.0± 9.0 µm) while the average body width ranges from 5.5 –11.0 µm (7.0± 1.5 µm). Ectoplasm is thin, hyaline, about 1.0–2.0 µm wide. The width of ectoplasm is greatest at the anterior tip where it is 5.0–6.0 µm in thickness. At the posterior end the thickness of the ectoplasm is 1.5–2.0 µm. Endoplasm is finely granular. Within the endoplasm very small spindle­shaped paraglycogen reserve granules of about 1.0 µm by 0.5 µm size have been observed. Nucleus is small, slightly elongate, measuring 18.0–26.0 x 9.0–11.0 µm, having karyosome diffused throughout the nucleoplasm, enclosed within a nuclear membrane. Gametocyst almost rounded with two almost equal gametocytes. Dimension of the gametocyst ranges from 48.0–68.0 µm (56.0± 1.3 µm). Oocysts biconical, measuring 7.0–11.5 µm (9.3± 11.0 µm).
