[Method] The single-oocyst isolation method was improved and the isolated single-oocyst which was put into capsule was fed to chickens. At the same time, the collected oocysts were identified by PCR method. [Result] The oocysts were isolated from feces of 15 chickens among that of 20 chickens and the infection rate was 75%. The PCR results demonstrated that the single-oocyst strain was E.tenella. [Conclusion] The inoculation of single oocyst capsule was simple, besides, this method did not only save time but also declined inoculation difficulty, increased infection rate and provided good materials for biological research of coccidian.展开更多
