Trophozoites are spherical or rounded and without any polar differentiation. Diameter of the trophozoite ranges from 65.4 to 126.7 (91.8 ± 17.5) μm. Nucleus diameter measures 12.2–20.4 (14.4 ± 2.2) μm. Gametocyst is round and measures 73.6–110.4 (93.3 ± 14.0) μm and contains two unequal gametocytes. Oocyst measures 7.7–10.7 (9.5 ± 0.9) μm × 3.8–5.3 (4.6 ± 0.4) μm.
