Merozoites of an Atoxoplasma species were present within parasitophorous vacuoles in the cytoplasm of leucocytes in the blood vessels in the small intestine of the greenfinch (Carduelis chloris). The merozoites indented the nucleus of the leucocytes. Merozoites, macrogametes, and microgamonts were present in the epithelial cells of the intestines. No merogony was observed. Experiments provided circumstantial evidence linking disporocystid-octozoic oocysts with the blood and intestinal infections.
在绿翅雀（Carduelis chloris）小肠血管内白细胞细胞质中的寄生泡内存在一种阿托弓形虫（Atoxoplasma）物种的裂殖子。裂殖子使白细胞的细胞核凹陷。裂殖子、大配子和小配子体存在于肠道上皮细胞中。未观察到裂体生殖。实验提供了间接证据，将双孢子囊-八子虫卵囊与血液和肠道感染联系起来。
