“…This has already been reported by Bisson et al (1979). The same authors also noted the high frequency of parental consanguinity and of infertility in close male family: they hypothesed that the short tail anomaly could be a recessive autosomic syndrome, as has been demonstrated for flagellar anomalies in several mammals (MacLeod & McGee, 1950;Johnson & Hunt, 1971;Arriola et al, 1985;Vierula et al, 1987). Our data on a larger population strengthen this interpretation.…”

Major monomorphous teratozoospermia, due to sperm tail structural anomalies, were detected in 42 out of 4231 infertile patients during routine semen analysis. The flagella were very short or absent in 16 cases, shortened with thickness irregularity in 18 cases, and of normal length with diameter anomalies in eight cases. These syndromes were always associated with poor forward motility, while mobility and penetration into human cervical mucus were sometimes impaired only partially. With good sperm smears and an experienced observer, the diagnosis could be made without the need for electron microscopic analysis. All the affected patients were sterile and several syndromes could have been transmitted genetically.

“…It is therefore probable that these syndromes are responsible for the sterility, as has been described already for several mammals: rabbit (Maqsood. 195 l), mouse (Hollander er al., 1960), bull (Blom, 1966;Arriola et al, 1985), stallion (Chenoweth er al., 1970) and boar (Holt, 1982).…”

“…They postulated that the distal centriole had been unable to form axonemal fibres preventing tail formation. Arriola and others (1985) observed that the rate of spermiogenesis was slower than normal and the seminiferous tubules consequently contained fewer spermatozoa than normal.…”

Ultrastructure of sperm ‘tail stump’ defect in wild boar

Sperm 'tail stump' defect was found in ejaculates of a wild boar maintained in captivity. It was in good physical condition, the testes and genital tract were found to be of normal size and consistency. There was no evidence of macroscopic abnormalities at the clinical analysis and at necropsy. The volume and concentration of the semen samples obtained by electroejaculation were lower than normal. The slides examined contained a high level of abnormal spermatozoa (52.7%). The most frequent morphological finding was a droplet-like form attached to the base of the head or a very short stump. The non-stumped spermatozoa had no normal tail but a shortened one. Analysing the histological structure with light microscopy, no ring of spermatozoa was observed lining the lumen of the seminiferous tubules and the characteristically cellular structure was not conserved. The ultrastructural examination evidenced a disorganisation of the normal tubular structure of the flagellum, with lost of regular pattern of the axial bundle of fibrils and the mitochondrial helix. The origin of this abnormality is unknown.
