Tyzzeria parvula from the greylag goose (Anser anser) is described in Southeastern Brazil. Oocysts are spherical to subspherical ranging from 12.4-180 to 10.7-15.9µm (15.4 X 13.4 µm), shape index 1.15, with a double layered wall 0.4 to 0.7 µm thick (n=20), outer smooth and colorless, inner pale gree...

| Summary: | Tyzzeria parvula from the greylag goose (Anser anser) is described in Southeastern Brazil. Oocysts are spherical to subspherical ranging from 12.4-180 to 10.7-15.9µm (15.4 X 13.4 µm), shape index 1.15, with a double layered wall 0.4 to 0.7 µm thick (n=20), outer smooth and colorless, inner pale greenish. Micropyle is absent, but oocyst residuum is present containing numerous granules and spherules. Surrounded by residuum there are eight sporozoites having one end round and other fine and slightly curved.<br>Tyzzeria parvula é descrita no sudeste do Brasil em ganso doméstico, Anser anser. Os oocistos com parede constituída de duas membranas, a externa lisa e translúcida, e a interna verde pálido, variando de esféricos a subesféricos e sem micrópila. Os diâmetros, maior e menor mediram de 12,4 a 18,0 por 10,7 a 15,9µm (15,4 x 13,4µm) respectivamente com índice morfométrico de 1,15. Possuíam oito esporozoítas livres dentro do oocisto embebidos pelo corpo residual do oocisto. Uma das extremidades dos esporozoítas era arredondadas, enquanto a outra era estreita e levemente curvada. |
