Amblyospora indicola sp. n., a microsporidian pathogen of the mosquito culex sitiens

A new microsporidian species Amblyospora indicola sp. n., parasite of fat body cells of Culex sitiens larvae, is described. Separation of diplokaryon nuclei occurs during the early sporulation phase of this microsporidian followed by the appearance of synaptonemal complexes in the nuclei suggesting that the first sporogonial division is meiotic.
