SYNOPSIS. Single megaloschizonts give rise to elongate and round gametocytes, the former outnumbering the latter. Male and female elongate gametocytes develop from merozoites of a single megaloschizont. Elongate gametocytes were seen 2–7 days and round gametocytes 6–11 days after megaloschizonts had been inoculated into ducklings. Experimental evidence indicates that merozoites of megaloschizonts invade blood cells and develop into elongate gametocytes. Other merozoites infect tissue cells and develop into secondary exoerythrocytic schizonts which give rise to round gametocytes. Relapse in Leucocytozoon simondi infections is discussed in relation to megaloschizont-induced exoerythrocytic schizogony.
