life cycle of amblyospora indicola (microspora: amblyosporidae), a parasite of the mosquito culex sitiens and of apocyclops sp. copepods. | the life cycle of amblyospora indicola, a parasite of the mosquito culex sitiens, was revealed by field observations and laboratory infection experiments conducted in australia. in northern queensland, infected c. sitiens larvae were often found breeding in association with two cyclopoid copepods: apocyclops dengizicus and an undescribed species of the same genus. the latter species was found to be an intermediate copepod host of this microsporidium whereas a. dengizicus was not. one complete cy ... | 1990 | 1972171 |
amblyospora indicola sp. n., a microsporidian pathogen of the mosquito culex sitiens. | a new microsporidian species amblyospora indicola sp. n., parasite of fat body cells of culex sitiens larvae, is described. separation of diplokaryon nuclei occurs during the early sporulation phase of this microsporidian followed by the appearance of synaptonemal complexes in the nuclei suggesting that the first sporogonial division is meiotic. | 1984 | 6434379 |
