phylogeny of amblyospora (microsporida: amblyosporidae) and related genera based on small subunit ribosomal dna data: a possible example of host parasite cospeciation. | small subunit ribosomal rna (ssu rrna) gene sequences were analyzed for six species and four genera of microsporidia from mosquito hosts; amblyospora stimuli (aedes stimulans), amblyospora californica (culex tarsalis), amblyospora sp. (culex salinarius), edhazardia aedis (aedes aegypti), culicosporella lunata (culex pilosus), and parathelohania anophelis (anopheles quadrimaculatus). comparison of these sequences to those of other microsporidia show that these sequences are longer with the ssu rr ... | 1998 | 9538024 |
horizontal transmission of parathelohania anophelis to the copepod, microcyclops varicans, and the mosquito, anopheles quadrimaculatus. | the copepod microcyclops varicans was infected with parathelohania anophelis by unincleate meiospores from a field-collected fourth instar anopheles quadrimaculatus larva. large numbers of unincleate, pyriform spores developed in the copepod. these spores were fed to early instar a. quadrimaculatus larvae, infecting both males and females, resulting in the production of cylindrical, binucleate spores in the adult. these spores were responsible for vertical transmission, through the eggs, to the ... | 1990 | 2115902 |
