Fig. 3From: Biting midges (Culicoides, Diptera) transmit Haemoproteus parasites of owls: evidence from sporogony and molecular phylogeny In vitro mature gametes and ookinetes of Haemoproteus noctuae (lineage hCIRCUM01, a–c) and Haemoproteus syrnii (hCULCIB01, d–f). Macrogametes (a, d), microgametes (b, e) and ookinetes (c, f) are shown. Long simple arrows – nuclei of parasites, simple arrowheads – pigment granules, triangle arrowheads – volutin granules.
