Gnathia aureamaculosa, a likely definitive host of Haemogregarina balistapi and potential vector for Haemogregarina bigemina between fishes of the Great Barrier Reef, Australia
Curtis, Lynda M.; Grutter, Alexandra S.; Smit, Nico J.; Davies, Angela J. (ELSEVIER, 2013)Investigations to determine whether juvenile gnathiid isopods are vectors of haemogregarines between coral reef fishes were undertaken at Lizard Island, Australia. Haemogregarina balistapi parasitaemias in triggerfish, ... -
Hepatozoon langii n. sp. and Hepatozoon vacuolatus n. sp. (Apicomplexa: Adeleorina: Hepatozoidae) from the crag lizard (Sauria: Cordylidae) Pseudocordylus langi from the North Eastern Drakensberg escarpment, Eastern Free State, South Africa
Van As, Johann; Davies, Angela J.; Smit, Nico J. (Magnolia Press, 2013)Two new haemogregarine species, Hepatozoon langii n. sp. and Hepatozoon vacuolatus n. sp., are described from the peripheral blood of the high altitude crag lizard, Pseudocordylus langi, collected between October 2006 and ... -
Life cycle of Hepatozoon affluomaloti sp. n. (Apicomplexa: Haemogregarinidae) in crag lizards (Sauria: Cordylidae) and in culicine mosquitoes from South Africa
Van As, Johann; Davies, Angela J.; Smit, Nico J. (Institute of Parasitology, Biology Centre CAS, 2015)A new haemogregarine species Hepatozoon affluomaloti sp. n. is described from erythrocytes in the peripheral blood of crag lizards Pseudocordylus melanotus (Smith) and Pseudocordylus subviridis (Smith) (Sauria: Cordylidae) ... -
Morphological and molecular characterization of a marine fish trypanosome from South Africa, including its development in a leech vector
Hayes, Polly M.; Lawton, Scott P.; Smit, Nico J.; Gibson, Wendy C.; Davies, Angela J. (BioMed Central, 2014)Background Trypanosomes are ubiquitous blood parasites of marine and freshwater fishes, typically transmitted by aquatic leeches. Phylogenetic studies have been dominated by examples derived from freshwater fishes, with ... -
Three-dimensional visualisation of developmental stages of an apicomplexan fish blood parasite in its invertebrate host
Smit, Nicholas Jacobus; Hayes, Polly M.; Wertheim, David F.; Seddon, Alan M.; Davies, Angela J. (BioMed Central, 2011)Background Although widely used in medicine, the application of three-dimensional (3D) imaging to parasitology appears limited to date. In this study, developmental stages of a marine fish haemogregarine, Haemogregarina ... -
Unusual haemogregarines parasitizing intertidal teleosts from the subtropical east coast of South Africa, with the description of Haemogregarina kunegemina sp. nov.
Ferreira, Maryke L.; Smit, Nico J.; Davies, Angela J. (Cambridge University Press, 2012)Of three intertidal fish species collected on the east coast of South Africa, 67% (127/190) had haemogregarine infections. Horned rockskippers, Antennablennius bifilum Günther, 1861, demonstrated 77% parasite prevalence, ...
