Abstract
The phagocytic ability of carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) granulocytes was e valuated in vivo and in vitro. In suspensions of head kidney cells, ne utrophil granulocytes incorporated both latex beads and coccidian mero zoites. In intestinal tissues from carp with a Goussia carpelli infect ion, all granulocyte cell types (neutrophils and cells of the basophil ic-eosinophilic complex) phagocytosed cell detritus and coccidian deve lopmental stages, mainly merozoites.
