Morphology and Ultrastructure of Brain Tissue and Fat Body from the Flesh Fly, <i>Sarcophaga bullata</i> Parker (Diptera: Sarcophagidae), Envenomated by the Ectoparasitic Wasp <i>Nasonia vitripennis</i> (Walker) (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae)

<table>Venom-induced changes in neuronal ultrastructure in brain tissue from young pharate adults of <i>S. bullata</i> envenomated by <i>N. vitripennis</i>. Following venom injection, some host brain cells (a) displayed prominent multilamellar bodies (Ml) by 6 hr postenvenomation. The mitochondria (M) in the 6 hr (b) and 24 hr (d) cells displayed similar structure with no evidence of swelling of the intermembrane space. By 24 h postenvenomation, some cells (c) contained multivesicular bodies (Mvb) and very swollen rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER), while others (adjacent cells in (c)) appeared to contain healthy rER. NE: nuclear envelope.</table>
