Vegetative growth (con't)

Light micrograph of hemolymph sampled from Helicosporidium spp.-infected Spodoptera exigua larvae 96 hours after cyst ingestion. Multiple vegetative cells being released from a cluster of hemocytes.

Light micrograph of hemolymph sampled from Helicosporidium spp.-infected Spodoptera exigua larvae 168 hours after cyst ingestion. (H) Several freely circulating vegtative cells, pellicles, and a few cysts. (I) Massive numbers of freely-circulating cysts and vegetative cells. Cyst development also occurs within hemocytes.
