dc.description.abstract | Colonies of Cowdria ruminantium were studied in midgut epithelial cells and salivary gland acini of nymphal Amblyomma hebraeum that were infected experimentally as larvae. Colonies were found in both tissues and studied with light and electron microscopy. Colonies observed within gut cells frequently contained 2 types of the organism : electron-dense and reticulated forms. The morphology of colonies from salivary glands, as seen with light microscopy, varied from compact, densely-staining, small colonies to larger ones in which individual organisms were apparent. With electron microscopy, most organisms in salivary glands were reticulated and appeared to be dividing by binary fission. In both types of host cells, colonies often contained a dense inclusion to which reticulated organisms were adhered. | en_US |
