Figure 218. Nucleophaga. A-E, Nucleophaga in Endamoeba disparata: A, normal 

 nucleus of £. disparata Kirby; B, developmental stage of Nucleophaga; C, D, later 

 stages of Nucleophaga, with residue of chromatin in center; E, surface view of same 

 stage. F-J, Endolimax nana parasitized by Nucleophaga hypertrophica: F, normal amoeba; 

 G, beginning of nuclear parasitism ; H, I, multiplication of spherules ; J, mature spores, 

 nuclear membrane appears on the point of rupturing. K-O, Nucleophaga in Caduceia 

 theobromae : K, surface view of parasitized nucleus bulged out at one side; L, mature 

 sporangium, with nucleus similarly formed; M, detail of spore; N, parasitized, greatly 

 hypertrophied nucleus; O, normal nucleus, drawn to same scale as K, L, N. (A-E, after 

 Kirby, 1927; F-J, after Brumpt and Lavier, 1935a; K-O, original.)
