Sperm tail axoneme alterations in the Wobbler mouse.
In Wobbler mice (neurological mutants affected with progressive motor neurone degenerative disease) a defect in sperm tail mobility and axonemal geometry was observed. Similar but less extensive abnormalities were seen in the ciliary axonemes of the ductuli efferentes.
