The endogenous development of Isospora suis Biester 1934 is described in piglets inoculated with 150,000 or 200,000 sporulated oocysts. Endogenous stages developed within villous epithelial cells throughout the small intestine. Two distinct types of meronts were seen in tissue sections. Type I meronts, which were seen at 3 days postinoculation, were binucleate, elongate, and 10.5 by 4.7 micron. They produced two to 14 Type I merozoites per parasitophorous vacuole. Type I merozoites were 10.0 by 3.6 micron. They produced two to 14 Type I merozoites per parasitophorous vacuole. Type I merozoites were 10.0 by 3.6 micron. Type II meronts, which were seen at 4 days postinoculation, were elongate and contained three to 12 nuclei. Type II meronts were 11.4 by 5.3 micron, and one to four were found per parasitophorous vacuole. Type II merozoites were 6.3 by 2.1 micron, and three to 16 were found per parasitophorous vacuole. The peak of asexual development occurred 4 days postinoculation. Fully developed microgamonts, macrogamonts, and oocysts were seen 5 days postinoculation. The prepatent period was 5 days, and the patent period was 5 to 8 days. No extraintestinal stages were seen.
