| trypanosoma melophagium from the sheep ked melophagus ovinus on the island of st kilda. | summarythe sheep ked has been largely eradicated in the uk but persists in the feral soay sheep of st kilda in the outer hebrides. sheep keds transmit trypanosoma melophagium, but parasitaemias are typically cryptic and this trypanosome has not been recorded in the st kilda sheep. trypanosomes were detected by pcr in preserved keds and were also found in gut smears from live keds; one infected gut was used to establish the trypanosome in vitro. examination of the morphology of bloodstream forms ... | 2010 | 20546642 |

| the morphology of ovine trypanosoma melophagium (zoomastigophorea: kinetoplastida). | morphologic and biometric data on bloodstream stages of trypanosoma melophagium are presented. an increasing parasitemia with 111 trypomastigote stages of t. melophagium were found in giemsa-stained thin blood smears taken from a splenectomized, cortisone-treated sheep recently infested with melophagus ovinus infected with t. melophagium . the arithmetic mean and standard deviation in micron of the distances between posterior end and kinetoplast were 14.7 and 2.9, from the kinetoplastic to the c ... | 1984 | 6737322 |
| ultrastructure of the fibrous matrix surrounding cells of trypanosoma melophagium in the hind-gut of the sheep ked, melophagus ovinus. | a fibrous material surrounds cells of trypanosoma (megatrypanum) melophagium in the hind-gut of the sheep ked, melophagus ovinus, and terminates just beyond the distal portions of the attached cells. the fibres of this extracellular matrix have a diameter of approximately 4 nm and are closely packed. individual fibres have approximately the same orientation as adjacent fibres and usually lie parallel to the longitudinal axis of the parasite cells. | 1985 | 3833459 |
