Scientific Name Binucleata daphniae
Comments spores(about 5.0 x 2.5 μm in size) isolated from infected hypodermal cells of infected Daphnia. Each spore shows a vacuole-like area in the posterior pole of the spore. This is a specific character of microsporidian spores.

30165
Comments Generalized microsporidian life cycle. (a) the dormant spore containing a coiled polar filament. (b) upon germination the polar filament everts from the spore as a tube which pierces the host cell membrane. (c) the spore content in the form of a small, little organized cell (sporoplasm) is deposited in the cytoplasm of the host cell. (d) the injected sporoplasm reorganizes its cytoplasm and nucleus, becomes a meront, and starts the vegetative part of the life cycle, the merogony. (e) in sporogony cells of the parasite acquire cell walls and gradually change into spores.
