    Notes: SYNOPSISUltrastructure of the plasmodium wall and of sporogenesis were studied in Myxosoma funduli Kudo infecting the gills of Fundulus kansae (Garman). Plasmodia were located within the lamellar tissues adjacent to sinuses and capillaries. The plasmodium wall consisted of a single unit membrane which was continuous with numerous pinocytic canals extending into the parasite ectoplasm. The plasmodium membrane was covered by a surface coat of almost uniform thickness which prevented direct parasite-host cell contact. Numerous generative cells and cell aggregates, representing early stages of spore development, were seen in immature plasmodia. Later stages of spore development, including mature spores, were observed in older plasmodia. Sporogenesis was initiated by envelopment of one generative cell, the sporont, by a 2nd, nondividing cell, the envelope cell. The sporont and its progeny proceeded through a series of divisions until there were 10 cells, all compartmentalized within the envelope cell. Subsequently, the 10 cells became structurally differentiated and arranged into two 5-celled spore-producing units, each consisting of 1 binucleate sporoplasm and 2 capsulogenic cells, all surrounded by 2 valvogenic cells. Observations of later developmental stages revealed the major events of capsulogenesis, valvogenesis, and sporoplasm maturation, which occurred concomitantly during spore construction.

    Notes: Leighton tubes containing monolayers of human embryonic lung cells were inoculated with 70,000 or 30,000 sporozoites of the viperid coccidium Caryospora simplex and examined at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18 days post-inoculation (PI). By day 1 PI, sporozoites had penetrated cells and were within parasitophorous vacuoles. Most sporozoites became spherical and then underwent karyokinesis several times between days 2 and 6 PI. Mature Type I meronts were found on days 6–16 PI and contained 8 to 22 short, stout merozoites. Mature Type II meronts were present on days 10–18 PI and contained 8 to 22 long, slender merozoites. Developing gamonts (undifferentiated sexual stages) were observed on days 14 and 16 PI. Mature micro- and macrogametes and thin-walled unsporulated oocysts were present on days 16 and 18 PI. Attempts to sporulate oocysts in tissue culture medium or in a 2.5% (w/v) aqueous solution of K2Cr2O7 at 25/°C and 37°C were unsuccessful; only a few oocysts developed to the contracted sporont stage. Four Swiss-Webster mice injected intraperitoneally with merozoites obtained from Leighton tubes on day 10 PI did not acquire infections. This is the second coccidium reported to complete its entire development, from sporozoite to oocyst, in cell culture.

    Notes: Development of the swine coccidium, Isospora suis, in embryonated chicken eggs is described. The allantoic cavities of eight-to-ten-day-old white Leghorn embryos were inoculated with either 100,000 or 200,000 sporozoites. Developmental stages morphologically similar to those found in the intestines of piglets were present in the endodermal layer of the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM), beginning three days post inoculation (PI). No stages were found in the mesodermal or ectodermal layers of the CAM and none were observed in heart, lung, liver, or spleen. Type I meronts and merozoites were found on days 3 through 10 PI. Type II meronts and merozoites were found days 4 through 10 PI. Mature microgamonts, macrogamonts, and oocysts were found on days 7 through 10 PI. Oocysts appeared to be retained in the endodermal cells and in ovo sporulation did not occur. Attempts to sporulate CAM-derived oocysts were not successful. Isospora suis was not pathogenic for embryos under the conditions of this study. This study represents the first fully documented report of complete development of a mammalian coccidium in chicken embryos.

    Notes: . The life cycle and morphology of a previously undescribed species of Cryptosporidium isolated from commercial broiler chickens is described. The prepatent period for Cryptosporidium baileyi n. sp. was three days post oral inoculation (PI) of oocysts, and the patent period was days 4–24 PI for chickens inoculated at two days of age and days 4–14 for chickens inoculated at one and six months of age. During the first three days PI, most developmental stages of C. baileyi were found in the microvillous region of enterocytes of the ileum and large intestine. By day 4 PI, most parasites occurred in enterocytes of the cloaca and bursa of Fabricius (BF). Mature Type I meronts with eight merozoites first appeared 12 h PI and measured 5.0 × 4.9 μm. Mature Type II meronts with four merozoites and a large granular residuum first appeared 48 h PI and measured 5.1 × 5.1 μm. Type I meronts with eight short merozoites and a large homogeneous residuum first appeared 72 h PI and measured 5.2 × 5.1 μm. Microgamonts (4.0 × 4.0 μm) produced 16 micro-gametes that penetrated into macrogametes (4.7 × 4.7 μm). Macrogametes gave rise to two types of oocysts that sporulated within the host cells. Most were thick-walled oocysts (6.3 × 5.2 μm), the resistant forms that passed unaltered in the feces. Some were thin-walled oocysts whose wall (membrane) readily ruptured upon release from the host cell. Sporozoites from thin-walled oocysts were observed penetrating enterocytes in mucosal smears. The presence of thin-walled, autoinfective oocysts and the recycling of Type I meronts may explain why chickens develop heavy intestinal infections lasting up to 21 days. Oocysts of C. baileyi were inoculated orally into several animals to determine its host specificity. Cryptosporidium baileyi did not produce infections in suckling mice and goats or in two-dayold or two-week-old quail. One of six 10-day-old turkeys had small numbers of asexual stages only in the BF. Four of six one-day-old turkeys developed mild infections only in the BF, and sexual stages of the parasite were observed in only one of the four. All seven one-day-old ducks and seven two-day-old geese developed heavy infections only in the BF with all known developmental stages present.

    A Comparison of Endogenous Development of Three Isolates of Cryptosporidium in Suckling Mice (1986)

    Notes: . Suckling mice were used as a model host to compare the endogenous development of three different isolates of Cryptosporidium: one from a naturally infected calf, one from an immunocompetent human with a short-term diarrheal illness, and one from a patient with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and persistent, life-threatening, gastrointestinal cryptosporidiosis. After oral inoculation of mice with oocysts, no differences were noted among developmental stages of the three isolates in their sites of infection, times of appearance, and duration, morphology, and fine structure. Sporozoites excysted within the lumen of the duodenum and ileum, penetrated into the microvillous region of villous enterocytes, and developed into type I meronts with six or eight merozoites. Type I merozoites penetrated enterocytes and underwent cyclic development as type I meronts or they became type II meronts with four merozoites. Type II merozoites did not exhibit cyclic development but developed directly into sexual forms. Microgamonts produced £16 small, bullet-shaped microgametes, which were observed attaching to and penetrating macrogametes. Approximately 80% of the oocysts observed in enterocytes had a thick, two-layered wall. After sporulating within the parasitophorous vacuole, these thick-walled oocysts passed through the gut unaltered and were the resistant forms that transmitted the infection to a new host. Approximately 20% of the oocysts in enterocytes consisted of four sporozoites and a residuum surrounded only by a single oocyst membrane that ruptured soon after the parasite was released from the host cell. The presence of thin-walled, autoinfective oocysts and recycling of type I meronts may explain why a small oral inoculum can produce an overwhelming infection in a suitable host and why immune deficient persons can have persistent, life-threatening cryptosporidiosis in the absence of repeated oral exposure to thick-walled oocysts.

    Notes: Sporozoites of Eimeria debliecki entered human fetal lung and porcine kidney cells grown in cultures and underwent one merogenous cycle, terminating in the production of second-generation trophozoites. Sporozoites were intracellular 1 h post-inoculation (PI) and developed into sporozoite-shaped meronts at 40 h PI. These meronts, one of which was motile, had from two to ten nuclei. Sporozoite-shaped meronts then developed into elongate or spheroidal meronts with 10 to 24 nuclei by two days PI. Ten to 26 first-generation merozoites were formed by budding from the meront surface. Mature first-generation merozoites were most numerous three days PI. Most meronts had ruptured and released nonmotile merozoites into the culture medium by four days PI. Merozoites that were not released became rounded and developed into second-generation trophozoites. Refractile bodies were present in all developmental stages. No further development was observed five through eight days PI.

    Notes: SYNOPSIS. A Cryptobia sp. that appears to differ structurally from Cryptobia helicis Leidy occurred as 2 distinct populations within the spermatheca of the land snail Triadopsis multilineata (Say). Attached flagellates were a resident population within the spermatheca while pleomorphic, free-swimming forms were a transient population moving freely within the reproductive tract. Slender, free-swimming flagellates were apparently the ones transmitted by a venereal route. It was observed by electron microscopy that attachment was achieved through an extensive morphologic transformation of the first 5 to 10 μm of the anterior flagellum which resulted in the formation of numerous pseudopodium-like structures (“flagellapodia”) capable of invading the microvillus border of the host tissue. Flagellapodia were delimited by a single unit membrane, contained granular cytoplasm, and were long, branched, finger-like structures which interdigitated extensively with host cell microvilli. Fine structure of the Cryptobia sp. is distinctly different from that reported for C. helicis. the differences include structure and position of the preoral ridge, the cytostome-cytopharynx, the recurrent flagellum, and the presence of the flagellapodia.

    Notes: Wall ultrastructure and sporogenesis were studied in plasmodia of Henneguya adiposa Minchew which infects the channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus (Rafinesque). Plasmodia were located among connective tissue bands of the adipose fin and were always separated from host fibrocytes by collagen fibers. The plasmodium wall consisted of a single unit membrane which was continuous with numerous pinocytic canals extending into the parasite's ectoplasm. The membrane was highly convoluted, producing an irregular parasite surface, and was covered by a fine granular coat of almost uniform thickness. Early sporogenic stages were located in a zone of cytoplasm rich in mitochondria, just interior to the zone of pinocytic canals. Later sporogenic stages, including mature spores, were concentrated in the center of the plasmodia. Sporogenesis began with the envelopment of one generative cell, the sporont, by a 2nd, nondividing, cell—the enveloping cell. The sporont and its progeny proceeded through a series of divisions until 10 cells were present within the enveloping cell. Once divisions were completed, the 10 cells became arranged into 2 identical spore-producing units, each consisting of one binucleate sporoplasm and 2 capsulogenic cells, all surrounded by 2 valvogenic cells. Later stages of spore development indicated that capsulogenesis, valvogenesis and sporoplasm maturation occurred concomitantly.

    Notes: SYNOPSIS. The inter- and intralamellar types of Henneguya exilis Kudo (Myxosporida) infections from channel catfish are similar in spore structure and sporogenesis, but differ in the structure of their plasmodium wall and surface coat and in their relationship with the host cells. The 2 clinical types differ also in the sites of development and growth patterns of plasmodia within a gill filament. Interlamellar plasmodia are limited by 2 outer unit membranes which give rise to both single-and double-membraned pinocytic canals. Intralamellar plasmodia are limited by a single outer unit membrane which gives rise to single-membraned pinocytic canals. Interlamellar plasmodia are covered by a fine granular coat of highly variable thicknesses; in some regions there is direct contact between the parasite and cells of the host. There is some evidence that host cell cytoplasm as well as interstitial material are taken in by interlamellar plasmodia. In contrast, intralamellar plasmodia are covered by a fine granular coat of almost uniform thickness, which prevents direct contact between the parasite and cells of the host; probably only interstitial material is taken by these plasmodia.
