Extract

In stained preparations Piroplasma canis, P. bovis and P. pitheci may be distinguished from other intracorpuscular parasites by the presence of intracorpuscular pyriform bodies, usually occurring in pairs and less commonly in fours, eights and sixteens. These pyriform bodies show a dense mass of chromatin near the pointed end and a loose mass, often connected with the dense mass, situated towards the blunt end. In suitable preparations peculiar dividing forms, most typically repre-sented by trilobed forms or more or less pyriform bodies joined to a single smaller rounded or elongated mass of protoplasm, may be seen.
