Chick embryos were infected with Leucocytozoon caulleryi by biting of the midge, Culicoides arakawae, through the shell membrane. Schizonts of L. caulleryi were detected in the chorioallantoic membrane and most of the internal organs of embryos and of chicks after hatching. The development of schizonts was slower in embryos than in chickens. Soluble antigens of L. caulleryi were demonstrated by the precipitation test in the allantoic fluid and blood from the embryos and chicks. No erythrocytic stage of L. caulleryi, however, was observed in any embryo or chick.
通过经由壳膜叮咬的蠓（新田库蠓），将卡氏住白细胞虫感染鸡胚。在孵化后的鸡胚尿囊绒毛膜及大多数雏鸡的内部器官中检测到卡氏住白细胞虫的裂殖体。裂殖体在鸡胚中的发育比在雏鸡中慢。通过沉淀试验在鸡胚和雏鸡的尿囊液及血液中证实了卡氏住白细胞虫的可溶性抗原。然而，在任何鸡胚或雏鸡中均未观察到卡氏住白细胞虫的红细胞内期。
