Eggs obtained from feces of rabbits infected with S. papillosus were squashed and the karyotypes were determined. They contained cells with either 2 long and 2 medium sized chromosomes (2L2M) or 1 long, 3 medium and 1 short chromosome (L3MS). Two types of parasitic female gonad could be distinguished on the basis of oocyte chromosome morphology at prometaphase of the maturation division. All the occytes in a gonad contained either 2 upaired long chromosomes and 2 unpaired medium sized chromosomes, or 2 unpaired medium sized chromosomes and 2 unpaired chromosomes segmented into beads in 1 region. At the maturation division in mitotic parthenogenesis the beads appeared to be lost from 1 of the chromosomes. This generated a medium sized and a shorter chromosome, which together with the undiminished chromosomes made up the L3MS karyotype. Animals with beaded oocyte chromosomes lay eggs that develop into males. Males may be heteromorphic for the long homolog due to the chromatin diminution that occurs in the maturation division of mitotic parthenogenesis.
