Fine structure of microgametogenesis of Eimeria ferrisi Levine and Ivens 1965 in Mus musculus

Abstract

The microgamogony of Eimeria ferrisi from experimentally infected mice was investigated with the electron microscope. Microgamonts were recognizable by the presence of peripherally arranged nuclei and the presence of single or paired centrioles between each nucleus and the limiting membrane of the parasite. Often an intranuclear centrocone directed toward the centriole was present. Differentiation of the microgamete began when elevations of the limiting membrane, which indicated the commencement of flagellar development, appeared above the centrioles. This event was accompanied by the segregation of nuclear content into a dense osmiophilic portion and an electron-pale portion. Then followed a gradual protrusion of the dense portion of the nucleus and developing flagella into the parasitophorous vacuole. A dense ring developed at the base of the differentiating microgamete, resulting in the formation of a stalk which was occupied by the residual portion of the nucleus. Fully developed microgametes became detached and occupied the parasitophorous vacuole along with residual cytoplasm. Microgametes had an anterior perforatorium, a dense elongate nucleus, with an anteriorly positioned mitochondrion in a small groove of the nucleus. Usually two flagella were present but one microgamete appeared to have three. Polysaccharide first appeared when differentiation was in progress and increased until large numbers of granules were present in the microgamont cytoplasm.
