Formation of a parasitophorous vacuole in a nonadequate experimental host: electron microscopical and X-ray microanalytical study

. 2005 ; 50 (1) : 5-12.

Language English Country United States Media print

Document type Journal Article

An unusual mechanism of formation of a parasitophorous vacuole as a result of interaction between an invasive stage of a parasite (merozoites of a protozoon, Mattesia dispora) and defense response of an insect host, Galleria mellonella is reported. The entire ontogenesis of parasitophorous vacuole can be divided into five morphologically clearly discernible stages. They differed, e.g., in the contents and distribution of elements at subcellular level, as determined by direct in situ elemental analysis of single organelles (electron microprobe X-ray analysis). The method was used in conjunction with electron microscopy to investigate the relationship between the host and the parasite.
