The ultrastructural morphology of Eimeria tenella exhibits striking natural variation and undergoes significant changes during the first few hours of infection
… I have quantified the fusion dynamics of the refractile bodies. Refractile bodies are non-membrane-bound organelles with immunogenic properties and unknown function. The structural and temporal dynamics of refractile body merger shares striking similarity with that of intrinsically disordered …

A Cytological Study of the Sporozoites of Eimeria Caviae, a Coccidian Parasite of the Domestic Guinea Pig, Cavia Porcellus
… sporozoites had one anterior and one posterior refractile body with a nucleus between these bodies. Staining reactions revealed refractile bodies, numerous granules distributed within the cytoplasm and a nucleus containing peripherally distributed chromatin; no nucleolus was observed. Sporulated …

An Interdisciplinary Investigation of Conformational Changes in Quasi-Crystalline Protein Array R-bodies in Response to pH
R-bodies are ribbon-like protein polymers that undergo a dramatic conformational change from a tightly coiled form at neutral pH to an extended helical spiral at acidic pH. R-bodies were found in bacterial endosymbionts of paramecia, where their forceful extension causes vacuolar membranes to …
