  • Title: Transmission electron microscopic studies of stages of Histomonas meleagridis from clonal cultures.
    Author: Mielewczik M, Mehlhorn H, Al-Quraishy S, Grabensteiner E, Hess M.
    Journal: Parasitol Res; 2008 Sep; 103(4):745-50. PubMed ID: 18626664.
    Abstract:
    Histomonas meleagridis is a 10-20 microm-sized flagellated protozoan, causing histomoniasis in gallinaceous birds. Different strains of H. meleagridis from different origins were used to establish clonal cultures, which can be traced back to a single cell. Cells from these clonal cultures were examined by transmission electron microscopy. Results gave detailed insights in the ultrastructure showing a single flagellum, a band of microtubules remnants of an axostyle or of a costa, respectively pelta, hydrogenosomes, nucleus, spindle apparatus, and other organelles of the trophozoites of H. meleagridis.
