A multi-nucleate stage characteristic of the coccidia that forms inside infected cells early in infection. Sometimes referred to as meronts. Each nucleus eventually gives rise to a single merozoite. The process of schizont production (i.e. rapid nuclear division without cell formation) is called schizogony (or merogony).
