Ultrastructural features of Trypanosoma trinaperronei n. sp. revealed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Longitudinal section of epimastigote (a, c) and trypomastigote (b) forms showing many acidocalcisomes (a, b), and kinetoplasts displaying weakly compacted and long DNA fibrils (a–d). Flagellar pocket region and the spongiome, a network of tubules and large contractile vacuole (c, e, f). Longitudinal section of a dividing epimastigote exhibiting two flagella, two basal bodies, and a single kinetoplast (c). Abbreviations: nucleus, N; kinetoplast, K; flagellum, F; Golgi, G; glycosome, GI; contractile vacuole, Cv; basal body, Bb; acidocalcisomes, Ac; Mitochondria, M; spongiome, Sp.
