Pleonite 5, telson and
uropods, dorsal ([female]); E.
Pleon of 6 incompletely separated pleomeres, its central axis greatly rotated to one side, posterior-most point of body side of pleomeres 1 and 2, pleomeres bearing blunt lateral plates but lacking all pleopods and
uropods. Male: Body about 4 times as long as broad, fusiform in outline.
Neutrophils polarize their cytoskeleton to form a leading edge (lamellipodia or pseudopod) towards the signal of origin and a trailing
uropod in the posterior of the cell.
Twenty-four hours later, these animals were clearly infected, showing fragile antennas and soft cuticle as well as chromatophore expansion along the whole surface of the body, particularly at the tail fan (telson and
uropods).
It differs from other isopods in New Mexico by being aquatic and having two pairs of oar-like appendages (
uropods) attached to the abdomen.
Mussels colonized virtually all areas of the crayfish bodies but the chelae, telson and
uropods and thorax were most heavily colonized.
Gammarus fossarum Koch is one of the four species of gammarids of the pulex group (Karaman and Pinkster 1977a, b, 1987), recognizable by the setation of the second antennae and the morphology of
uropods and pleopods (Roux 1963, Goedsmakers 1981b).
Hamaticolax scutigerulus, ventral view: (A) female and its (B) anterior portion, (C) egg sacs and (D)
uropods; (E) male.
Morphologically, Creaseria and Neopalaemon are very similar, differing in a few characters such as the hepatic and branchiostegal spines on the carapace, the setation of the fifth pereiopod and the shape of the telson and
uropods (Hobbs et al., 1977).
The progress of WSSV infection in the bioinoculated shrimps showed that WSSV first affected the pleopods followed by
uropods. The injected shrimps showed gross clinical signs of WSSV infection.
Pieces of the shell (carapace, abdomen, telson,
uropods, pleopods, claws, and legs) of each lobster were stored in 95% ethanol, acetonitrile, or Bouin's solution, or they were frozen at -80[degrees]C as part of a proposed tissue bank for later studies.
