In Canju- tropha, the nucleus of the host cell is pushed to one side and the para- site assumes such a form that the nucleus lies in a small bay (Fig. 93, 2n). In the cytoplasm of the cell an intracellular canal is then formed which runs from the host nucleus to the nucleus of the para- site, and Siedlecki holds that the food of the parasite is all elab- orated by the nucleus of the host cell, while the other spermatogonia. Fig. 93.—Food-Getting adaptations of Sporozoa. 1, Pyxinia mobiuszi with epi- merite deeply insuiik in the epithelial host cell (after Leger and Dubosq); 2, Caryo- tropha mesnili with an intracellular canal from the nucleus of the host cell (ri). (After Siedlecki.) form a protective epithelial sheath around it. When the parasite is full grown the cell is destnned and the bundle degenerates. It is difficult to draw the line between symbionts, commensals and parasites. Symbionts are organisms living with a host in such a relation that both are benefited; commensals are organisms which live with a host without benefit or injury to the latter but to their own advantage, and parasites are organisms which, to their own benefit, cause injury in one form or other to the host. Symbiosis is well illustrated by the harmonious life of some chlorophyll-bearing forms, Zoochlorella, Zooxanthella, etc., and Protozoa in which the former live {Paramecium bursaria, "yellow cells," Stentor viridis,.
