Extract

During the collection of helminths from a goat, millet-sized nodules were noticed in the mucous membrane of the abomasum. Examination of these nodules showed that there were no larval nematodes in their substance, but that they contained a large mass of spores. The nodules were identified as cysts belonging to the protozoon parasite, Globidium gilruthi. This parasite has not previously been recorded from the Indo-Pakistan sub-continent. The parasite was for the first time observed by Flesch (1883). Moussu & Marotel (1902) regarded it as a developmental stage of the coccidium, Eimeria faurei. It was studied by Gilruth (1910) and in the same year by Chatton (1910), who named it as Gastrocystis gilruthi.
