The parasites show the cell body twisted like a corkscrew. Most of the parasites found in oil palm have 4 twists while those found in coconut have 5. The parasites were located within the sieve tubes. In heavily infected sieve tubes the parasites seem to form a "plug" which obstructs them.  aelectron microscopy  aPhytomonas  aCocos Nucifera  aElaeis Guineensis  aCoconut  aCoqueiro  aDendezeiro  aDiseases  aDoencas  aOil Palm  aProtozoarios1 aBEZERRA, J.
