| 1. | At this stage, the zygote is known as an oocyst.
|
| 2. | After the oocyst develops, it ruptures releasing several hundred sporozoites.
|
| 3. | The oocyst is passed through the faeces completing the life cycle.
|
| 4. | Within the oocyst, meiosis occurs, yielding the sporozoites.
|
| 5. | Each zygote normally forms an oocyst wall within which it undergoes meiosis.
|
| 6. | Immature sporozoites break through the oocyst wall into the haemolymph.
|
| 7. | Merogony, gamogony and oocyst formation all occur within the same host.
|
| 8. | The oocyst undergoes meiosis and then mitosis producing numerous sporozoites.
|
| 9. | After ingestion of an oocyst, motile and rapidly dividing tachyzoites are released.
|
| 10. | The spores are not confined by an oocyst membrane.
