Entry term(s) oocistos
Scope note: Cistos que contienen cigotos de protozoos esporozoarios. Un ulterior desarrollo en un ovocisto produce pequeños organismos infecciosos individuales denominados ESPOROZOITOS. Luego, dependiendo del género, el ovocisto en su totalidad se denomina esporocisto o el ovocisto contiene múltiples esporocistos que encapsulan los esporozoítos.
