Ultrastructural study of characteristic organelles (paired organelles,micronemes, micropores) of sporozoa and related organisms

Summary By means of electron microscopy a study has been made of different developmental stages of Eimeria callospermophili, E. falciformis, Toxoplasma gondii, Frenkelia spec. (= M-organism), Babesia bigemina, and B. ovis. Major emphasis was given to the analysis of some characteristic organelles of the motile stages of the sporozoans. These organelles were the paired organelle, the micronemes and the micropores.Supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.
