FIG. 6. — H in Fine structure of gametocytes in five species of Haemoproteus (Haemosporidia) from geckos and agamid lizards

FIG. 6. — H. ptyodactyli (cont.); A, macrogametocyte with more dilute ribosomal contents and nucleus with a conspicuous nucleolus; B, large concentrically structured mitochondria; C-G, Haemoproteus tarentolae from Tarentola mauritanica; C-D, whole view of microgametocyte containing osmiophilic bodies, with folded attenuated ends; E, gametocyte with dense ribosomal contents; F, part of microgametocyte showing lobate nucleus, phagosomal residue inclusions and mitochondria; G, extremely lobate gametocyte. Abbreviations: e, vacuole with phagosomal residues; er, endoplasmic reticulum and connected cisternae; fe, empty food vacuole; m, mitochondria; n, nucleus; nl, nucleolemma; nu, nucleolus; o, osmiophilic bodies; w, electron-lucent space. Scale bars: A-C, E-G, 1 µm; D, 0.5 µm.
