Life cycle of Hepatozoon affluomaloti sp. n. (Apicomplexa: Haemogregarinidae) in crag lizards (Sauria: Cordylidae) and in culicine mosquitoes from South Africa
(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) ...
Marine fish parasitology in South Africa: history of discovery and future direction
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)
Almost 200 years have passed since the first description of a marine fish parasite from South Africa. It is therefore
an opportune time to look back, take stock of and reflect on the history of discovery within this field ...
Gnathia aureamaculosa, a likely definitive host of Haemogregarina balistapi and potential vector for Haemogregarina bigemina between fishes of the Great Barrier Reef, Australia
(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
(Magnolia Press, 2013)
Two new haemogregarine species, Hepatozoon langii n. sp. and Hepatozoon vacuolatus n. sp., are described from the peripheral

(Taylor & Francis, 2015)
To date, only a single species of Hemolivia, Hemolivia mauritanica (Sergent & Sergent, 1904), has been described
from African terrestrial tortoises. Although various haemogregarines have been described from southern ...
Blood parasite biodiversity of reef-associated fishes of the eastern Caribbean
(Inter–Research, 2015)
Parasitic micro-organisms can influence
multiple ecological processes, from growth, mortality,
and behavior, to community structure and trophic
interactions, yet are typically ignored components of
marine biodiversity. ...
Occurrence of Hepatozoon canis (Adeleorina: Hepatozoidae) and Anaplasma spp. (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae) in black-backed jackals (Canis mesomelas) in South Africa
(BioMed Central, 2018)
Background:
Domestic dogs are not native to sub-Saharan Africa, which may account for their susceptibility to
Babesia rossi
, of which endemic black-backed jackals (
Canis mesomelas
) are natural reservoirs. There is ...
