卡氏住白虫裂殖子和配子体的超微结构

    OBSERVATION ON THE ULTRASTRUCTURES OF MEROZOITES AND GAMETOCYTES OF LEUCOCYTOZOON CAULLERYI

    • 摘要: 卡氏住白虫(Leueocytozoon caulleryi的裂殖子和配子体是从天然感染鸡的外周血液、肝、脾及其他内脏组织采取。通过透视电镜观察其超微结构,裂殖子呈圆形或卵圆形,外包有两层膜,外膜较薄,内膜比较厚,内含有一个圆形或卵圆形的核,在核中央有一核仁、核酸糖小体、食物空泡,具有一个管状嵴的线粒体和1~2个脂类包含体。 卡氏住白虫雄性和雌性配子体都具有三层明显的膜,但成熟的配子体仅见到两层膜。雌雄配子体含有细胞核、核仁、核酸糖小体、食物空泡、管状嵴的线粒体、内质网、雄配子体较小而细胞核较大。雌配子体染色较雄配子体深,并含有较发达的内质网。

       

      Abstract: The fine structures of merozoites and gametocytes of Leucocytozoon caulleryi from peripheral blood, liver, spleen and othef tissues of naturaliy infected chickens were examined under electron microscope. Results revealed that:The merozoites of Leucocytozoon caulleryi appeared to be round to oval in shape and were surrounded by two clearly marked membrances, i.e.a thin outer and a thick inner membrane. The merozoites possessed a large round to oval nucleus, a small nucleolus, numerous ribosomes,a mitochondria with tubular cristae and 1 - 2 large lipid inclusions. The micro- and macro-gametocytes were surrounded by 3-layered clearly marked membrane as in Leucocytozoon sabrazesi but in the mature gametocytes of L. caulleryi only 2-layered membrances were seen. The mature gametocytes were round or elliptical in shape and contained a nucleus, numerous ribosomes, food vacueles, lipid inclusions and endoplasmic reticulum in the cytoplasm. The microgametocytes were smaller than macroga-metocytes and possessed a large nucleus. The macrogametocytes were also easily distinguished from microgametocytes by their dark staining appearance and their well developed endoplasmic reticulum.
