Electron microscopic study of spermatogenesis in the lung fluke (Paragonimus miyazakii)

Abstract

The characteristics of spermatogenesis in a type of pulmonary parasite, Paragonimus miyazakii have been observed using the electron microscope. Groups of several spermatocytes revealed mutual cytoplasmic connection. That degree of this fusion increased as spermatogenesis progressed, and finally developed into a so-called cytophore. Then, this cytophore remained joined with a spermatid by a short stalk until the spermatid changed into a sperm. The nucleus of the spermatid became elongated with a string-like arrangement of the chromatin, which, in turn, showed increased electron density. At the pole of the spermatid, linearly arranged microtubules developed just below the plasma membrane. Close to an elongated portion at the pole, two separate flagella start growing and later fuse with the sperm itself. In the sperm tail a couple of tail filament complexes, longitudinally oriented slender mitochondria, and a tubular structure were present.
