O. Bwangamoi et al., COMPARATIVE ULTRASTRUCTURAL STUDIES ON BESNOITIA-BESNOITI AND BESNOITIA-CAPRAE, Veterinary research communications, 19(4), 1995, pp. 295-308
Comparative transmission electron microscopy on Besnoitia besnoiti and
on a strain of Besnoitia derived from goats in Kenya revealed that th
e two organisms differ in their pellicle, micropore, microtubules, nuc
leus, wall-forming body 1 (W1), amount of lipids and amylopectin. Thus
the caprine besnoitia is probably a different organism and the term B
esnoitia caprae should continue to be used.
