Coelomomyces psorophorae var. psorophorae is herein reported for the first time in Italy in nine out of 2,207 adults of Aedes caspius examined. In parasitized mosquitoes the abdomen was packed with yellow-brown, ovoid resting sporangia with morphological features (size, shape, wall ornamentation and dehiscence slit), defined via light and electronmicroscopy, allowing the classification of the parasite as C. psorophorae var. psorophorae.
Résumé
Il s'agit de la première observation en Italie de Coelomomyces psorophorae var. psorophorae observé dans neuf exemplaires parmi 2207 Aedes caspius examinés. L'abdomen des moustiques parasités était rempli de sporanges jaune-brunâtres ovoïdes dont les traits morphologiques, voir les mesures, la forme, les ornementations de la paroi et la ligne de déhiscence, observés en microscopie optique à lumière directe et en microscopie électronique, nous ont permis l'identification du parasite Coelomomyces psorophorae var. psorophorae.
