Tissue Distribution and Abundance of the Parasitic Dinoflagellate <i>Hematodinium perezi</i> in Naturally Infected <i>Portunus trituberculatus</i> by Ju Zhang, Meng Li, Qian Huang, Lijun Hu, Qi Xue, Jiayi Wang, Caiwen Li

“…In the present study, the tissue tropisms and intensity of <i>H. perezi</i> were investigated in the naturally infected Chinese swimming crabs <i>Portunus trituberculatus</i> by both the qualitative (hemolymph assay, histology) and quantitative analysis (cell count, quantitative PCR). The results showed that in <i>P. trituberculatus</i> with infection level I (4 ± 2 parasites in 200× microscopic field), filamentous trophonts were observed in the hemolymph and stomach tissues, with the average parasite number and ITS 1 copy number of <i>H. perezi</i> quantitatively detected in hemolymph (1.0 × 10² parasites/mL) and stomach tissues (1.7 × 10³ cells/g), respectively. …”
