Restoration of the genusCoelosporidium and a description ofCoelosporidium oithonae n. sp. from the body cavity of a marine copepod,Oithona rigida

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Abstract

A haplosporidian parasite,Coelosporidium oithonae n.sp. parasitic in the body cavity of the marine copepod,Oithona rigida, is described. It is suggested that both the genera,Coelosporidium andNephridiophaga be retained, the former to include parasites of the body cavity and the latter to include those which have part intracellular and part haemocoelic development.
