| the gallbladder of uranoscopus scaber l. (teleost perciform fish) is lined by specialized cholecystocytes. | the gallbladder of uranoscopus exhibits a mucosal surface layer of simple columnar epithelium composed of specialized cholecystocytes. the apices show storage and mucous secretions, typical microvilli, and very apical projections extending deep into the luminal contents. many organelles and heterogeneous vesicles of diverse size fill the cytoplasm, including neutral mucins, mitochondria, peroxisomes, lysosomal bodies, and lipid-rich deposits with cholesterol inclusions. the fibromuscular layer s ... | 2011 | 21965085 |
| survey of viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus in wild fishes in the southeastern black sea. | species diversity in the black sea ecosystem has been declining rapidly over the last 2 decades. to assess the occurrence and distribution of viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (vhsv) in various wild fish species, a wild marine fish survey was carried out in 2009, 2010, and 2011. the pooled or individual samples of kidney, liver, and spleen of 5025 specimens, belonging to 17 fish species, were examined virologically using cell culture. the cells showing cytopathic effects (cpe) were subjected ... | 2014 | 24991737 |
