ABSTRACT
Eimeria mccordocki and E. madisonensis oocysts were isolated from feces of 21 of 40 captive mule deer in Fort Collins, Colorado. The two species were separated from each other by infecting one mule deer fawn, and the life cycle of E. mccordocki was studied for the first time. Four to six-weeks-old mule deer fawns were inoculated orally with E. mccordocki and killed 9, 13 and 15 days after infection. Asexual and sexual stages of life cycle developed in the ileum of mule deer, only in the surface epithelial cells of the villi. The asexual stages consisted of two generations of meronts.
