Staining | In blood smears stained by Romanowsky methods, the organisms appear coccus or rod-shaped and are located on or within the erythrocytes. They occur singly, in pairs or in groups in shallow or deep indentations on the erythrocyte surface, sometimes in vacuoles within the erythrocytes, rarely in the plasma. Ring forms are rare or absent. Obligate parasites of many vertebrate species. One species is known to be transmitted by arthropods. |
