| hepatozoon sauritus: a polytopic hemogregarine of three genera and four species of snakes in north florida, with specific identity verified from genome analysis. | hemogregarines from thamnophis s. sirtalis, coluber constrictor priapus, elaphe obsoleta quadrivittata, and e. g. guttara in northern florida appeared to be conspecific on the basis of similar gamonts from all the hosts and sporogonic stages obtained from 3 hosts. the resemblance of gamonts to those of hepatozoon sauritus, described from t. sauritus sackenii in southern florida, justified comparison of dna isolates from the type infection of h. sauritus with samples from each of the northern flo ... | 2004 | 15165059 |
