sp. nov. (Trypanosomatidae, Kinetoplastida), a parasite of the biting midge (Ceratopogonidae, Diptera) Free

Abstract

Monoxenous trypanosomatid sp. nov. was isolated from the digestive tract of the biting midge (Ceratopogonidae, Diptera). This species forms three distinct morphotypes in culture: the microflagellate promastigote, the small promastigote and the long promastigote. The last form is unique for the newly described species. Phylogenetic analyses of SSU rRNA and glycosomal glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase genes showed that sp. nov. is the closest relative of , another monoxenous trypanosomatid isolated from biting midges. However, morphological and randomly amplified polymorphic DNA analyses confirmed that sp. nov. is distinct from .
