The life cycle and pathogenicity are described of a pure strain of Eimeria isolated from turkey poults in Great Britain and identified as E. meleagrimitis . There were three schizogony cycles followed by a sexual generation. The coccidium produced a high mortality and loss of weight in young poults. An age resistance developed by the time the poults were 8–10 weeks of age. The pathology of the infection is described.
