11. It produces polysporocystic oocysts without a resistant oocyst wall. 12. The zygote forms an oocyst and within the oocyst, the sporozoites develop. 13. The zygote forms an oocyst and within the oocyst , the sporozoites develop. 14. If the oocyst cannot sporulate, disease is halted. 15. Each oocyst produces a small ciliated larva which makes its way to another star. 16. The oocyst absorbs nourishment and grows in size. 17. The ookinete penetrates an intestinal cell of the fly and matures into an oocyst . 18. After oocyst maturation is complete, the oocyst divides to form multiple haploid sporozoites. 19. After oocyst maturation is complete, the oocyst divides to form multiple haploid sporozoites. 20. The ookinte is now known as an oocyst .
