Leptomonas sp., parasitic in the fly Leia sp. (fam. Mycetophilidae), with special reference to the metacyclic forms
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 April 2009
Extract
The Leptomonas described in this paper has been studied principally in the gut contents and faeces of the larva of the fly, Leia sp., and in moisture obtained from the decaying vegetable matter within which the larvae grow and pupate. The incidence of infection of the larvae has been found to be almost 100 %, only one or two very young specimens being found unparasitized among the hundreds studied.
