Epitheliocystis disease in the gills of the striped bass Morone saxatilis from Chesapeake Bay was studied using light and electron microscopy. The epitheliocystis infection appeared synchronous in that all capsules on a single host were at the same stage of development. The disease appeared to begin in a single cell on the gill lamella, which gradually enlarged to form a large cyst, encapsulated by a thick cellular capsule of epithelial origin. The epitheliocystis inclusion was filled with cells of the general morphology and size of rickettsiae; however, the infection was atypical for rickettsiae in that the cells had a dense central nucleoid region and they developed within an inclusion separated from the host cytoplasm.
利用光学显微镜和电子显微镜对切萨皮克湾条纹鲈（Morone saxatilis）鳃部的上皮囊肿病进行了研究。上皮囊肿感染似乎是同步的，即单个宿主上的所有包囊都处于相同的发育阶段。该病似乎始于鳃小片上的单个细胞，该细胞逐渐扩大形成一个大囊肿，被一层厚的上皮来源的细胞包囊所包裹。上皮囊肿内含物充满了形态和大小与立克次氏体大致相同的细胞；然而，这种感染对于立克次氏体来说是非典型的，因为这些细胞有一个致密的中央类核区域，并且它们在与宿主细胞质分离的内含物中发育。
