The infectivity and pathogenicity of newly discovered baculovirus, CuniNPV (family Baculoviridae, genus Nulclepolyhedrovirus) originally isolated from the mosquito Culex nigripalpus Theobald, was...
Microsporidiosis of Tachinaephagus zealandicus Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) (2002)
Geden,Christopher J, Boohene,Carl K, Becnel,James J, Prado,Angelo Pires Do
An undescribed microsporidium was found infecting Tachinaephagus zealandicus, a gregarious parasitoid that attacks third instar larvae of muscoid flies. Spores were present in all body regions and in...
In Vivo and In Vitro Development of the Protist Helicosporidium sp (2001)
DRION G. BOUCIAS, JAMES J. BECNEL, SUSAN E. WHITE, MICHEAL BOTT
We describe the discovery and developmental features of a Helicosporidium sp. isolated from the black fly Simulium jonesi. Morphologically, the helicosporidia are characterized by a distinct cyst...
