Three-dimensional visualisation of developmental stages of an apicomplexan fish blood parasite in its invertebrate host

Hayes, Polly M., Wertheim, David F., Smit, Nico J., Seddon, Alan M. and Davies, Angela J. (2011) Three-dimensional visualisation of developmental stages of an apicomplexan fish blood parasite in its invertebrate host. Parasites & Vectors, 4, ISSN (online) 1756-3305

Abstract

This is likely the first account of the use of 3D visualisation to study developmental stages of an apicomplexan parasite in its invertebrate vector. Elucidation of the extent of development of the haemogregarine within the leech salivary cells, together with the unusual connections between meronts and the host cell membrane, illustrates the future potential of 3D visualisation in parasite-vector biology.
