White nodules containing intracellular ovoid Sporozoans were observed in internal organs (kidneys, liver and gut wall) of cultured Sparus aurata and in the liver of wild Siganus luridus in the gulf of Aquaba in the Red Sea. Nodules consisted of parasitised hypertrophic macrophage-like cells enclosed in a well-defined collagenous fibrous capsule. These parasites are evidently the cystozoite stage of a haemogregarine.
Résumé
Des nodules blancs renfermant des Sporozoaires intracelllulaires ovoïdes ont été observés dans les organes internes (reins, foie et paroi intestinale) de Sparus aurata en culture et dans le foie de Siganus luridus sauvage, cela dans le golfe d’Akaba en mer Rouge. Les nodules étaient faits de cellules macrophages hypertrophiques enfermées dans une capsule au collagène filamenteux bien déterminé. A l’évidence, ces parasites sont le stade cytozoïque d’une haemogrégarine.
