Cytomere
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A cytomere is the structure separating the portions of the contents of a large schizont in the course of schizogony.
Cytomeres are caused by complex invaginations of the surface of the schizont. They complete the budding process in the formation of large numbers of merozoites and are found in some species of sporozoans - including those of the Leukocytozoon genus - undergoing exoerythrocytic asexual division.
