Original research proves that coxynil does not let the oocysts sporulate thereby controlling coccidiosis. The fungal mycelium invades the rice and then starts to sporulate. At room temperature, it takes one and a half days for the oocysts to sporulate. They "sporulate" and then become infective. Under appropriate environmental conditions, diploids sporulate and undergo meiosis. Lastly, this marine archaean does not sporulate. Additionally, fungi typically grow in mixed colonies and sporulate amongst each other. Infections may be persistent due to the organisms ability to sporulate. Secondary lesions appear after about 10 days, allowing the fungus to sporulate once more. As with all fungi, it requires a moist environment to sporulate. After the infection has spread throughout the host, the bacterium begins to sporulate. During favorable weather, the lesions sporulate and new secondary infections occur. If the oocyst cannot sporulate, disease is halted. The gall will enlarge for 2 years and sporulate on the third.
