| CELLULAR |
| Staining | Small, coccoid, often pleomorphic, intracytoplasmic organisms which occur primarily in reticular cells of lymphoid tissues of Canidae. Also seen in certain tissues of mature fluke vectors; all other fluke stages, eggs, rediacercariae and metacercariae have been proven infectious by injection into susceptible vertebrate hosts, which confirms that the infectious cycle includes transovarial transmission in the vector. Gram-negative. Non-motile. Not cultivable in cell-free media or in chicken embryos. Sensitive to tetracycline antibiotics. Has been reported from the Pacific Coast of Northern California, Oregon, and Washington. |
