Bee parasite movie: Lotmaria passim strain 'BRL' by R. Schwarz

This is a short microscopy movie of parasites from the honey bee (Apis mellifera) known as Lotmaria passim.  These cells look so nice and clean because they are from a pure cell culture I grow.  Note the flagella which they use for motility, as it whips about and pulls the parasite through the media.  These guys are kind of squished on the slide, so they are having a bit of trouble moving (this way I could get a good, clear image of them).  Normally, they can move about quite quickly.
