Description:

Eimeria dorcadis Mantovani, 1966 is redescribed from dorcas gazelle (Gazella dorcas (L.)) from Saudi Arabia. Oocysts were detected in 7 out of 22 faecal samples (32%) using floatation method. The sporulated oocysts are cylindrical, slightly flattened at the micropylar pole, measure in average 32 × 19 μm (27-36 × 16-24 μm), length/width ratio being 1.7 (1.5-2.1). Oocyst wall is 1.2 μm thick, smooth, double-layered; outer layer is slightly thicker, light blue in colour; inner layer brownish, with micropyle in the inner layer and apparently continual outer one, measures 2.2 μm, but lacks a micropylar cap. The sporocyst elongate-ellipsoidal, measures 14 × 8 μm (12-17 × 6-9 μm), length/width ratio being 1.8, with sporocyst residuum as circular compact, coarse, refractile granules. Stieda body is present, while substieda body is absent. Sporozoites banana-shaped, measure 11 × 2.5 μm, each with a large spheroidal refractile body at the wider pole. Sporulation time is 2-3 days at 25 ± 2 °C.
