n. sp. (Apicomplexa: Aggregatidae) : a coccidian parasite of the kidney of blue missels, species of
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Three of 91 mussels, taken from Pacific coastal waters in Nanaimo, British Columbia, were infected with a new species of coccidian parasite. Gamogonic and sporogonic development were observed in renal tubular epithelial cells. Mature macrogametocytes were crescent-shaped. Oocysts sporulated within the host. Mature oocysts were spherical, mean 23.9 μm (range 22-25 μm) with approximately 24 ellipsoidal sporocysts (approximately 6 x 3 μm), each of which contained two sporozoites. Ultrastructural features of immature and mature macrogametocytes are described. Although found in all five populations of mussels from various locations in British Columbia, prevalence of infection was usually less than 16%, intensity of infection was usually light (less than 50 coccidia per histological section of kidney tissue), and evidence of associated pathology was not observed.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
