| morphological and molecular characterization of a marine fish trypanosome from south africa, including its development in a leech vector. | trypanosomes are ubiquitous blood parasites of marine and freshwater fishes, typically transmitted by aquatic leeches. phylogenetic studies have been dominated by examples derived from freshwater fishes, with few marine representatives. furthermore, life cycle studies on marine fish trypanosomes have focused on those of the northern hemisphere. in this investigation, we have examined the life cycle and molecular taxonomy of a marine fish trypanosome from south africa. | 2014 | 24460725 |
