TI  - Hammondia hammondi cysts in cell cultures.
PG  - 821-4
AB  - In an attempt to obtain the continuous development of Hammondia hammondi in 
      vitro, culture of the parasite was performed in 3 cell lines. Although organisms 
      were present in culture fluids of feline kidney cells (CRFK) for as long as 3 mo, 
      continuous culture was not possible. However, for the first time, cysts of H. 
      hammondi were observed in cell culture from day 6 after inoculation of 
      sporozoites. Ultrastructure of the H. hammondi cysts was similar to that observed 
      for in vitro-obtained Toxoplasma gondii cysts. Feeding a cat with these in 
      vitro-developed cysts resulted in oocyst shedding 5 days after ingestion.
