Ascogregarina (Apicomplexa: Lecudinidae): An overview of its distribution and pathogenicity on Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus development

et al. 2018

As ascogregarinas são protozoários, pertencentes ao filo Apicomplexa, que parasitam várias espécies de invertebrados, incluindo algumas importantes espécies de mosquitos envolvidas na transmissão de arboviroses, como dengue, febre amarela, chikungunya e zika. As espécies gregarinas mais frequentemente reportadas em mosquitos são Ascogregarina culicis, A. taiwanensis e A. barreti, as quais possuem Aedes aegypti, Ae. albopictus e Ae. triseriatus como hospedeiros naturais, respectivamente. Estudos têm demonstrado que o parasitismo de algumas espécies de Ascogregarina pode influenciar negativamente o desenvolvimento biológico desses mosquitos e tal influência depende da sua distribuição ambiental. Assim, nesta revisão, foi verificada a distribuição de espécies de Ascogregarina em vários países, bem como sua influência no desenvolvimento de mosquitos e seu possível uso como controle destes insetos.

“…In Ascogregarina culicis (Ross, 1895), parasitizing in adults and immature stages of Aedes aegypti (L., 1762) (Diptera), parasite prevalence and host abundance showed clear seasonal pattern (Vezzari & Wisnivesky 2006;Albicócco & Vezzari 2009). Parasite trophozoites were only found from January to May with a clear seasonal pattern of prevalence (Albicócco & Vezzari 2009).…”

Lacewings are known as biological control agents, substantially reducing populations of aphids and spider-mites. The study focuses on gregarines parasitizing their brown lacewing hosts. The occurrence of the gregarine species Hyalospora hemerobii Geus, 1969 in brown lacewings (Hemerobiidae) in NE Slovenia was investigated. Seven brown lacewing species were surveyed and in five of them (Hemerobius humulinus, H. micans, H. marginatus, Micromus variegatus and Sympherobius pygmaeus) gregarines were present. Trophozoites, solitary gamonts, associations, syzygies and gametocysts were recognized.

Susceptibility of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) to Acanthamoeba polyphaga (Sarcomastigophora: Acanthamoebidae)

et al. 2010

To date there is no report on mosquitoes infected with free-living amoebae. For this reason, the aim of this study was to verify if Aedes aegypti could be susceptible to Acanthamoeba polyphaga under laboratory conditions, so trophozoites were offered as a unique food resource for larvae of first instar. The results show that those amoebae are able to infect and colonize the mosquito gut and could be re-isolated of all stages of the mosquito (larvae, pupae, and adults).
