한우에 있어서의 Anaplama marginale의 미세구조

Ultrastructure of anaplasma marginale in Korean native cattle

The ultrastructure of the inoculated Anaplasma marginale in the splenectomized Korean Native Cattle was observed to delineate the morphologic characteristics with transmission electron microscope and scanning electron microscope. The anaplasma bodies(marginal bodies) within parasited erythrocytes varied from 0.7um to 1.2um in diameter, were surrounded with a single limiting membrane in which contained several initial bodies(subunits), and also had irregular limiting membrane with several circumferential extensions. The initial bodies in the anaplasma bodies varied from 0.2um to 0.5um in diameter, divided by a binary fission to 2 subunits. They were surrounded with a double membrane. The number of circumferential extensions of initial bodies were observed to be increased when it contained several initial bodies.
