Cell Division of Giardia intestinalis: Assembly and Disassembly of the Adhesive Disc, and the Cytokinesis

Abstract

New findings are presented on cell division of Giardia intestinalis trophozoites with special reference to the assembly of the new adhesive discs in a dividing cell and gradual decomposition of the parent cell disc. Based on these observations a divisio
