Eperythrozoon suis in naturally infected pigs: a light and electron microscopic study. 1982

A Pospischil, and R Hoffmann

The light and electron microscopic characteristics of natural infections with Eperythrozoon suis are reported. E. suis are enclosed by a single membrane, and they reach a length of up to 600 nm and a diameter of 375 to 500 nm. Neither distinct organelles nor nuclear structures appear in the parasites cytoplasm. They replicate by binary fission, and have close contact with red blood cells without showing any signs of membrance alteration. Massive phagocytosis of whole red blood cells not parasitized by E. suis in spleen and lymph nodes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D013552 Swine Any of various animals that constitute the family Suidae and comprise stout-bodied, short-legged omnivorous mammals with thick skin, usually covered with coarse bristles, a rather long mobile snout, and small tail. Included are the genera Babyrousa, Phacochoerus (wart hogs), and Sus, the latter containing the domestic pig (see SUS SCROFA).
