Life cycle of Calyptospora funduli (Apicomplexa: Calyptosporidae).
The taxonomic status of the extraintestinal piscine coccidium Calyptospora funduli is based in part on its requirement of an intermediate host (the daggerblade grass shrimp Palaemonetes pugio). In the present study, grass shrimp fed livers of Gulf killifish (Fundulus grandis) infected with sporulated oocysts of C. funduli exhibited numerous sporozoites suspended in the intestinal contents when ...
متن کاملThe Life Cycle and Fitness of Gregarine (Apicomplexa)Parasites
Theoretical demographic models with an accompanying experimental program provide an important framework to study the life history of organisms. In this paper we seek to understand the fitness characteristics of gregarine parasites and how they are shaped by their own life cycle stages inside and outside an insect host. The population model is a continuous time dynamics for the parasite stages, ...
متن کاملMorphology and ultrastructure of multiple life cycle stages of the photosynthetic relative of apicomplexa, Chromera velia.
Chromera veliais a photosynthetic alga with a secondary plastid that represents the closest known photosynthetic relative of the apicomplexan parasites. The original description of this organism was based on brownish, immotile coccoid cells, which is the predominating stage ofC. veliain the culture. Here we provide a detailed light and electron microscopy description of coccoid cells ofC. velia...
متن کاملHepatic Calyptospora sp. (Apicomplexa) infection in a wild-born, aquarium-held clutch of juvenile arapaima Arapaima gigas (Osteoglossidae).
From Manaus, Brazil, 12 juvenile arapaima Arapaima gigas were imported to the United States and sent to 2 public aquaria, 1 private hobbyist, and 1 retailer. All 12 fish became ill within 4 to 6 wk of arrival, with signs of anorexia, lethargy, depigmentation, and ascites, and subsequently died despite antibiotic and anthelminthic therapy. Gross necropsies of 7 fish revealed serosanguinous coelo...
متن کاملOn the life cycle of Aggregata eberthi and observations on Aggregata octopiana (Apicomplexa, Aggregatidae) from Galicia (NE Atlantic)
Stages of merogony of a coccidian parasite were commonly observed during histological examination of the digestive tract of 7 crustacean species from Galician coastal waters. Study of the fine structure of these merogonial stages by transmission electron microscopy revealed the presence of a typical apicomplexan apical complex. Newly hatched Sepia officinalis obtained from egg masses, cultured ...
