Microgametes of Leucocytozoon simondi are filiform cells which possess elongate, centrally positioned nuclei. Their cytoplasm is devoid of organelles and contains two, typically protozoan axonemes which are entwined about each other and the irregularly shaped nucleus. The movement and structure of these microgametes are compared with that of the closely related genera Plasmodium and Haemoproteus.
