Morphological Features

Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the resting spore wall of Synchytrium endobioticum is composed of three distinct layers: an exospore, which appears to be derived from the host potato cell wall; a mesospore; and an endospore, composed of the vesicle wall and the sporangial wall. The exospore could be partially or completely removed by the digestive action of snail gut passage.
