Perkinsus spp.는 국내를 비롯한 전 세계에 걸쳐 수산업적으로 중요한 이매패류에 감염되어 대량폐사를 유발하는 대표적 기생충이다. 본 연구에서는 바지락에서 검출되는 P. olseni 의 유주자를 광학현미경과 주사전자현미경을 이용해 미세구조를 관찰한 결과 P. olseni의 유주자는 타원형의 몸체에 1개의장편모와 1개의 단편모로 구성되어 있었으며, 장편모에는 섬모털을 보유하고 있었으며, 섬모털은 편모의 한쪽 면에만 분포하고 있었다. 유주자의 평균 체장은 3.37 ± 0.33 μm, 체폭은 1.72 ± 0.22 μm 이었으며, 장편모는 16.34 ± 1.52 μ m, 단편모는 8.25 ± 1.39 μm으로 측정되었다. 이는 유럽과미국에서 보고된 Perkinsus spp.와 비교 하였을 때 몸체의크기는 작지만 편모의 길이는 긴 것으로 확인되었다.
Protozoan parasites belonging to the genus Perkinsus elicit severe inflammatory responses and are associated with mass mortality of commercially important marine shellfish worldwide. In the present study, we examined the external features of P. olseni zoospores in detail using light and scanning electron microscopy. Our study showed that the zoospores have an oval body with a long anterior flagellum and a short posterior flagellum. The anterior flagellum has a unilateral array of mastigonemes. Mean body dimensions were 3.37 ± 0.33 μm × 1.72 ± 0.22 μm. The average length of the anterior and posterior flagella was 16.34 ± 1.52 μm and 8.25 ± 1.39 μm, respectively. Zoospores of P. olseni found in Korean waters have shorter and narrower bodies, longer anterior flagella, and shorter posterior flagella than zoospores of Perkinsus spp. found in the mollusks of North America and Europe.
