SYNOPSIS. Schizogony and gametogony of E. tenella occurred in the liver of chick embryos inoculated intravenously with sporozoites. Gametogony occurred more freely in dexamethasonetreated embryos. Schizonts and gamonts developed within bileduct epithelial cells but many gamonts were also found within cells that appeared to be liver parenchyma type. Schizonts also developed in the chorioallantois of a corticosteroid‐treated goose embryo when sporozoites were inoculated via the allantoic cavity.
