Zeitschrift für Parasitenkunde Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

This work is the summary of our present knowledge about the ultrastructure of Simuliids larvae Microsporidans, including several new data concerning:

  1. 1.

    Pleistophora simulii (Lutz et Splendore, 1904): reticulated or net-like plasmodial envelope, formation of pansporoblastic structures looking like short pipes.

  2. 2.

    Stempellia simulii Maurand et Manier, 1968: plasmodial envelope asPleistophora simulii, granular-textured polaroplast.

  3. 3.

    Thelohania fibrata (Strickland, 1913): ultrastructural study of the sporogonic sequence never done so far.

  4. 4.

    Thelohania bracteata (Stickland, 1913): its relations withThelohania minuta, T. canningi, Amblyospora bracteata, Pegmatheca simulii.

  5. 5.

    Tuzetia debaisieuxi (Jirovec, 1943): formation of pseudopansporoblasts by the host-cell membrane.

Résumé

Ce travail est une synthèse des connaissances acquises sur l'ultrastructure des Microsporidies des larves de Simulies et inclut de nombreuses données nouvelles concernant:

  1. 1.

    Pleistophora simulii (Lutz et Splendore, 1904): mise en évidence d'une enveloppe plasmodiale réticulée et de la formation de structures pansporoblastiques en forme de tubes.

  2. 2.

    Stempellia simulii Maurand et Manier, 1968: enveloppe plasmodiale réticulée, polaroplaste à texture granulaire chez la spore.

  3. 3.

    Thelohania fibrata (Strickland, 1913): étude de la sporogonie jamais encore effectuée.

  4. 4.

    Thelohania bracteata (Stickland, 1913): ses rapports avecThelohania minuta, T. canningi, Amblyospora bracteata, Pegmatheca simulii.

  5. 5.

    Tuzetia debaisieuxi (Jirovec, 1943): formation de pseudopansporoblastes par la membrane cellulaire.
