Oocyst wall bi-layered, 0.9 (0.6–1.5, N = 33). Outer layer is thicker, 1.0, light brownish in color, slightly pitted externally; inner layer is 0.5. Micropyle and oocyst residuum are absent. Two irregularly-shaped polar granules were present, each about 1.5 × 2.0. Sporocysts are elongate ovoidal, slightly asymmetrical, cramped on one pole, 13.5 × 6.5 (11–16 × 6–7, N = 33), with smooth, single layered, colorless wall; shape index 1.09 (1.69–2.17).

Sporocyst residuum is scattered, composed of hundreds of small granules (Fig. 1). Sporozoites are elongate, slightly curved, each with two refractile bodies. Anterior refractile body is spherical 3.0 × 2.4 (3.0 × 2.4–2.5, N = 10); the posterior one is elongate 5.4 × 2.5 (5.3–5.5 × 2.3–2.5, N = 10) (Fig. 4). The nuclei of the sporozoites were not well discernible.</p> <p>Type-host: Columba palumbus Linnaeus, 1758 (Aves: Columbidae), Common Wood Pigeon.</p> <p>Type-locality: Bratislava, Slovak Republic.</p> <p>Site of infection: Endogenous stages observed in jejunum; oocysts were recovered from feces.</p> <p>Sporulation: Exogenous, oocysts became sporulated within 6 days at ~ 23°C.</p> <p>Type-specimens: Digital photomicrographs are deposited at the type parasitological collection of the Institute of Parasitology, Biology Centre, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, České Budějovice, No.: IP ProtColl P 20.</p> <p>Etymology: The specific epithet columbapalumbi is derived from the host binominal name Columba palumbus. Latin word palumbus (= wood pigeon) is of the second declension and is of masculine gender, having a genitive ending -i.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/2B1F87D0BB5C6C26FCE3C86C4544A945	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
