FIGURE 2 in Myxosporea (Cnidaria: Myxozoa) infecting the saddled seabream Oblada melanura (L. 1758) (Teleostei: Sparidae) and the painted comber Serranus scriba (L. 1758) (Teleostei: Serranidae) in Tunisia

FIGURE 2. Photomicrographs of Ceratomyxa sp. 2 from the gall bladder of Oblada melanura. (A–C) Globular to subspherical disporic plasmodia(p), notice the presence of immature spores (is) within plasmodium in B and the migration of two sporoplasmic nuclei (sn) in one side of pre–mature spore in C. (D–E) Fresh smears of mature spores. (F–H) Variable forms of mature spores in sutural view showing the pyriform polar capsules (pc), the suture line (sl) and an iodinophilous vacuole (v). (H) Mature spore in lateral view presented one capsulogenic nucleus (cn) below the polar capsule. Scale bar = 10µm.
