Thank you for your answer.

It is better you sporulate the oocysts before taking morphometric measurements for speciation. Although this depends on the Eimeria host you're working with, it might be very difficult to delineate between species using the unsporulated (or immature) oocysts. You will find a lot of overlap in the measurements and end up reporting under- or over- estimated results.
