L’examen sanguin et histologique des Epomops franqueti (Pteropinae) capturés aux alentours de Makokou (Gabon) a montré que ces chauves-souris sont fréquemment parasitées par un Hépatocyste que nous nommons Hepatocystis brosseti. Le foie est l’organe de prédilection des schizontes, qui, à maturité, sont extracellulaires, polylobés, de taille modérée (250 µ) et pourvus d’une abondante colloïde en flaques. Un seul schizonte a été trouvé dans la rate.
Abstract
Epomops franqueti (Pteropinae) trapped around Makokou (Gabon) are frequently infected with Hepatocystis brosseti n. sp. Blood smears and tissue sections were made ; all schizonts were found in the liver except a single one in the spleen. In liver, near maturity the schizonts are extracellular, convoluted, medium sized (250 µ) and filled with abundant colloidal substance.
