Lainsonia legeri n. sp., Lankesterellidae, parasite de Tupinambis nigropunctatus Spix, 1825, de Belem (Para, Brésil) a été transmis au laboratoire par inoculation entérale et parentérale de sang de Lézards infectés à de jeunes Tupinambis sains ; la parasitémie est apparue entre le 36e et le 48e jour ; la schizogonie et la sporogonie évoluent dans le système réticulo-endothélial de l’hôte. Un mécanisme très particulier permet une dissémination rapide des formes infectantes dans tout l’organisme de l’hôte vertébré : les oocystes se détachent de la paroi des vaisseaux de leur lieu de formation (poumon, rein, cerveau) pour circuler dans le sang et métastaser à distance. Il s’agit là, probablement, d’une adaptation à la transmission par prédation de Vertébré à Vertébré. Les auteurs proposent de réunir les trois genres Lainsonia, Lankesterella et Schellackia dans une seule famille, les Lankesterellidae, qui ont priorité sur les Schellackiidae.
Abstract
Lainsonia legeri n. sp., Lankesterellidae, a parasite of Tupinambis nigropunctatus Spix, 1825, from Belem (Para, Brazil), was transmitted in the laboratory both by intraperitoneal and intra-oesophageal inoculation of blood from infected Lizards to clean young Tupinambis. The parasitaemia became patent between the 36th and 48th day ; schizogony and sporogony occur in the reticulo-endothelial system of the host. Rapid dissemination of infective forms to all the tissues of the vertebrate host is ensured by a special mechanism : oocysts may become detached from the walls of the vessels at their sites of development (lungs, kidney and brain) and migrate throughout the circulation to the other tissues. This is probably an adaptative mechanism to facilitate the transmission by predation from Vertebrate to Vertebrate. The authors propose to include the three genera Lainsonia, Lankesterella and Schellackia in a single family, the Lankesterellidae, which has the priority to the Schellackiidae.
