Popis | Apicomplexans form a large and diverse group of unicellular parasites inhabiting invertebrates and vertebrates. Most gregarines infecting the intestine of marine invertebrates have been described within the family Lecudinidae and the type genus Lecudina. Family Lecudinidae is probably a taxonomic mixture. In attached cells of Polyrhabdina, globular organelle is embedded in a depression of entherocyte. There was no consensus on the definition of the attachment organelle: mucron or epimerite. We present results of the fine structure study of an eugregarine Polyrhabdina sp., parasite of polychaete Pygospio elegans. Both attached and detached parasites were found in host intestine. |
