The fine structure of the merozoites and gametocytes of Leucocytozoon caulleryi from the peripheral blood of chickens was studied by means of electron microscopy. Merozoites are oval to elongate and are surrounded by a pellicle. They possess a large nucleus, numerous ribosomes, microtubules, a mitochondrion with tubular cristae, a cytostome, an apical complex consisting of three polar rings, electron-dense paired rhoptries, and micronemes. Mature gametocytes are irregular in shape and are surrounded by a three layered pellicle, and contain a large nucleus, mitochondria with tubular cristae, endoplasmic reticulum, numerous ribosomes, food vacuoles, cytostomes, and lipid inclusions. Macrogametocytes are easily distinguished from the microgametocytes by more ribosome concentration and the presence of well developed endoplasmatic reticulum.
利用电子显微镜研究了鸡外周血中卡氏白细胞原虫裂殖子和配子体的精细结构。裂殖子呈椭圆形至细长形，被一层表膜包围。它们有一个大细胞核、众多核糖体、微管、具管状嵴的线粒体、一个胞口、由三个极环、电子致密的成对棒状体和微线体组成的顶复合器。成熟配子体形状不规则，被三层表膜包围，含有一个大细胞核、具管状嵴的线粒体、内质网、众多核糖体、食物泡、胞口和脂质内含物。大配子体与小配子体易于区分，前者核糖体浓度更高且有发育良好的内质网。
