Abstract: The release of intracellular developmental stages of Hoferellus cyprini (Doflein, 1898) into the lumen of renal tubules was monitored histologically. In the autumn the trophozoites of H. cyprini transform epithelial cells into a syncytium in certain portions of the renal tubules. In January, after the syncytium becomes degenerated and disrupted, the trophozoites get into the lumen of the tubules, are transformed into coelozoic developmental stages, and colonize the ureter. After the epithelium of the renal tubule is destroyed, from the direction of the intact basement membrane fibrocytes and macrophages enter the lumen and surround the cellular debris and trophozoites stuck there with a connective-tissue capsule of several layers.
