Fig 1.
Morphologic-microscopic findings of development of A. columbae under the control conditions (the upper panel); and after disinfectants treatment (the lower panel). The upper panel shows various developmental stages of embryo from egg with one-cell stage (left), two-cell stage egg (second left), four-cell stage egg (third left), leading to the egg with fully developed larva (right). The lower panel demonstrates the various anomalies recorded after disinfectants as eggs with disintegrated early embryo (left), eggs with disintegrated late embryo (second left), egg with a dead larva (third left), and even a disintegrated (ruptured) egg (right). The scale bar represents 70 μM.
