The radiographs demonstrated spinal lordosis and kyphosis with vertebral deformity. Histopathological study on the central nervous system of all deformed fish confirmed massive infiltration of macrophages carring parasitic microorganisms which were comma-shaped, measured 0.7~1.0×0.5 nm in size and unclassifiable, in the third ventricle, fourth ventricle, optic lobe, medulla oblongata and spinal cord. The microorganisms obsearved were a few or absent in the central nervous system of normal-shaped fish. Based on the results, invasion of the unclassifiable microorganisms into the central nervous system was thought to be a cause of spinal deformity of chub mackerel.}, pages = {167--177}, title = {マサバの変形症に関する研究}, volume = {9}, year = {1982} }
