| multiple symbiotes in larval black flies (diptera: simuliidae): associations of trichomycete fungi with ichthyosporeans, mermithid nematodes, and microsporidia. | studies of the interactions between two or more species of symbiotic microorganisms in a single host animal have lagged behind those involving interactions between hymenopteran or dipteran parasitoids. we screened the larvae of four species of black flies (cnephia ornithophilia, simulium furculatum, simulium innoxium, and simulium vandalicum) to determine if the colonization and prevalence of trichomycete fungi were influenced by ichthyosporeans, mermithid nematodes, microsporidia, or other spec ... | 2005 | 15955344 |
