Haemogregarina
''Haemogregarina'' is a genus of haemoprotozoans, parasitic mainly on cold-blooded vertebrates. They are unicellular organisms which are parasitic in the red blood cells. ''Haemogregarina'' infects lower vertebrates (fish and reptiles) as intermediate hosts and leeches (as definitive hosts). History It was described in 1885 by Danilewsky from the European pond turtle (''Emys orbicularis The European pond turtle (''Emys orbicularis''), also called commonly the European pond terrapin and the European pond tortoise, is a species of long-living freshwater turtle in the family Emydidae. The species is endemic to the Western Palearc ...''). General description These parasites are generally considered non-pathogenic, and have been described in the red blood cells of desert tortoises. They are elongate to fusiform oval organisms found in the red blood cells. Although the size varies, they are larger than the cell's nucleus. The organism stains a basophilic colour and has a surround ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
