molecular characterization and taxonomy of a new species of caudosporidae (microsporidia) from black flies (diptera: simuliidae) with host-derived relationships of the north american caudosporids.	a new species of microsporidium, caudospora palustris (microsporidia: caudosporidae), is described from 3 species of black flies (cnephia ornithophilia and diploid and triploid cytospecies of stegopterna mutata), bringing to 7 the total species of caudosporids recorded from north america. this new species of caudosporid is recorded from swamp streams of the coastal plain from new jersey to georgia, with single records from the new jersey mountains and the upper peninsula of michigan. densities o ...	2000	10772326
description of microsporidia in simulids: molecular and morphological characterization of microsporidia in the larvae of simulium pertinax kollar (diptera: simuliidae).	microsporidia constitute the most common black fly pathogens, although the species' diversity, seasonal occurrence and transmission mechanisms remain poorly understood. infections by this agent are often chronic and non-lethal, but they can cause reduced fecundity and decreased longevity. the objective of this study was to identify microsporidia infecting simulium (chirostilbia) pertinax (kollar, 1832) larvae from caraguatatuba, state of são paulo, brazil, by molecular and morphological characte ...	2014	25467266
