Morphological characteristics of Sarcocystis platyrhynchosi n. sp. isolated from the skeletal muscle of domestic ducks. a Light microscopy (LM) micrograph of a sarcocyst (unstained). Note the short brush-like villar protrusions (vps). b LM micrograph of lancet-like bradyzoites (unstained). c Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) micrograph of a sarcocyst. Note the lanceolated villar protrusions (vps) and the bundles of microtubes (mt) within the vps. d TEM micrograph of a sarcocyst. Note the narrowed stalk (arrowhead) of the vps, bundled mt extending into the ground substance (gs) and the smooth electron dense layer (edl) lining the vps
