Fire Ants (Solenopsis spp.) and Their Natural Enemies in Southern South America

Figure 2

Phase contrast view (400x) of meiospores of Kneallhazia solenopsae in workers of Solenopsis richteri. Because of the grinding process, the octect membrane usually brakes and most spores are released in the aqueous extract. A few intact octects (arrows) are shown with meiospores inside.
