From: Discovery and partial characterization of a non-LTR retrotransposon that may be associated with abdominal segment deformity disease (ASDD) in the whiteleg shrimp Penaeus (Litopenaeus) vannamei

Figure 7

Photomicrographs of ventral nerve cords. Photomicrographs of toluidine-blue stained, semi-thin sections of the abdominal ganglia of normal and ASDD P. vannamei showing small inclusions (black arrows) and cracked neurons (white arrow) in the latter (A) when compared to normal neurons (B). Irregular nerve fibers (asterisk) and small vacuoles (arrow) are seen in ASDD shrimp (C) but not in normal shrimp (D).
