The ultrastructural changes in the encysted phase of Trichinella larvae, during and after treatment of the rat with mebendazole, were studied.The earliest modifications in the infected area concerned the immediate larval environment (matrix). These degenerative changes in the matrix were seen before any alteration could be observed in the larvae.Subsequently, oedematous swelling, intracellular vacuolization and loss of glycogen were noted in the larval cells.Together with the progressive involution of the larvae and their matrix, inflammatory and immunocompetent cells invade the infected area and penetrate the altered capsule. Calcification of the larvae and massive infiltration of mononuclear phagocytes with subsequent elimination of the calcified remnants were the prominent features in the first weeks after treatment. The infected areas were completely cleared from larval and matrix residues 50 days after the end of treatment and a nearly normalized tissue was seen from day 111 after treatment.

A pathogen transmitted by the eriophyid mite, Aceria tulipae, infects a number of Gramineae producing symptoms similar to wheat spot mosaic virus (1). An electron microscope study of leaf ultrastructure from systemically infected Zea mays, Hordeum vulgare, and Triticum aestivum showed the presence of ovoid, double membrane bodies (0.1 - 0.2 microns) in the cytoplasm of parenchyma, phloem and epidermis cells (Fig. 1 ).

Microgranules have been described with different names in keratinized and in nonkeratinized epithelium. In keratinized epithelium it seems clear that the microgranules are lamellated bodies bounded by a membrane which empty their contents into the intercellular space. Their existence in nonkeratinized epithelium is more debatable. Until now the so-called microgranules have been described in nonkeratinized bucal, lingual and cervical epithelium. In the present work we describe the morphology and nature of such structures in human vaginal epithelium.Biopsies from the midlevel of the vaginal mucosa were taken from voluntary fertile women. The specimens were divided into three groups with four vaginal specimens. The first group was obtained in the folicular phase; those of the second in the postovulatory phase and, finally, the last group corresponded to the secretory phase.
