Jiří Vávra, Albert H. Undeen

Abstract

SYNOPSIS. A new microsporidan, Nosema algerae n. sp., was found in a laboratory colony of Anopheles stephensi. The microsporidan infects a variety of tissues of both larvae and adults and is highly pathogenic for its host. The structure and life cycle of the microsporidan under the light and electron microscope is described and its relationship to other Nosema species infecting mosquitoes is discussed.
