- Stieda body
The Stieda body is an organelle located at the polar region of the Apicomplexa lifecycle stages sporocyst of some coccidia visible with electron microscopy. It appears as a knob like structure and is a plug occluding a hole in the sporocyst. The breakdown of this body allows excystation of the sporozoite s.

Eur J Protistol 37 4 , 379 390 ref There is only one known species in this genus. This species was isolated in 2002 from a free living Cryptomonad cryptophyte Chilomonas paramaecium . The type species is Cryptophagus subtilis . Life cycle The life cycle begins with the adhesion of the anterior tip of the parasite, followed by the penetration of the flagellated sporozoite , into a specialized region at the base of a Chilomonas flagella . The trophozoite grows within the host cytoplasm. After 4 5 successive nuclear mitosis mitoses the sporozoites bud on the surface where they acquire flagellae, microneme s and other apical structures. Mitosis is closed with an external spindle lacking a paradesmosis . A sporangium is not formed but a cyst may occur within the host. Description The sporozoite has an elongated shape with an apical complex, a central Cell nucleus nucleus and two flagellae which are inserted at the base of the pseudoconoid . Two microtubular roots lie deep to the plasma membrane and are attached to each basal body . The apical complex consistes of a set of 10 14 microneme s and a train of dumb bell like vesicles which converge toward the tip of the pseudoconoid. The micronemes are outlined by a four microtubule fibre. The dumb bell like vesicles are associated with a three microtubules in a rake like fibre.
