The life history and host specificity of Hepatozoon clamatae (Apicomplexa: Adeleorina) and ITS-1 nucleotide sequence variation of Hepatozoon species of frogs and mosquitoes from Ontario.

Abstract excerpt

The life cycle of an intraerythrocytic hemogregarine, Hepatozoon clamatae, was studied in green frogs (Rana clamitans melanota), bullfrogs (Rana catesbeiana), northern leopard frogs (Rana pipiens), and in the mosquito, Culex territans. Gametogenesis, fertilization, and sporogony occurred within cells of the Malpighian tubules of laboratory-reared Cx. territans that had fed on naturally infected frogs. Mature...
