Comparative ultrastructural studies on Besnoitia besnoiti and Besnoitia caprae

J M Njenga et al. Vet Res Commun. 1995.

Abstract

Comparative transmission electron microscopy on Besnoitia besnoiti and on a strain of Besnoitia derived from goats in Kenya revealed that the two organisms differ in their pellicle, micropore, microtubules, nucleus, wall-forming body 1 (W1), amount of lipids and amylopectin. Thus the caprine besnoitia is probably a different organism and the term Besnoitia caprae should continue to be used.
