Figure 8

Transmission electron micrographs. Viral-like particles (approximately 20–22 nm) (arrow) can be seen in the cytoplasm of glial cells or neurons (A, B) of the abdominal ganglion of ASDD shrimp. The degenerated axon (C) is fragmented and dense and contains a vacuole (v), has a disorganized microtubular sheath (asterisk) and has a larger submyelinic space when compared that of a normal shrimp (D). N = nucleus.
