Trypanosoma cotti Brumpt and Lebailly, 1904 is redescribed from Brumpt’s blood slides prepared from the sea scorpion (Enophrys bubalis). Developmental stages occur in the intestine of the marine leech Calliobdella punctata, which acts as the vector. Division occurs only in the amastigote stage which subsequently changes into a sphaeromastigote and epimastigote forms. Yellow pigment granules characterize all developmental stages except slender epimastigotes. No metatrypanosomes were observed.
Résumé
Trypanosoma cotti Brumpt et Lebailly, 1904 est redécrit à partir des frottis de sang du Scorpion de mer (Enophrys bubalis) faits par E. Brumpt. Des stades évolutifs se développent dans l’intestin de la Sangsue marine Calliobdella punctata, qui transmet le parasite. La division ne s’effectue qu’au stade amastigote, qui évolue par la suite et devient sphaéromastigote et épimastigote. Des granules de pigment jaune caractéristiques se trouvent dans tous les stades évolutifs, sauf dans les épismastigotes fins. Aucun métatrypanosome n’a été observé.
