Abstract
The fine structure of sporozoites of Isospora canis closely resembled that of sporozoites of various Eimeria species, except that they had crystalloid bodies in place of refractile bodies, and 26 subpellicular microtubules instead of 24 or 25. Two crystalloid bodies, one anterior and one posterior to the nucleus, were present. Each body consisted of irregularly arranged particles, each of which had a number of dense granules embedded in a less dense matrix. The anterior crystalloid body was closely associated with rhoptries, the posterior one with amylopectin granules, and endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria were adjacent to both.
