Hepatocystis epomophori Rodhain, 1926 | |
Hepatocystis epomophori is a species of parasitic protozoa. They are transmitted by flies of the genus Culicoides and infect mammals.
This species was described in 1926 by Jean Rodhain.
This species is similar to Hepatocystis brosseti and Hepatocystis carpenteri .
This species is found in the Congo Basin.
This species infects the fruit bat ( Epomorphorus gambianus ). [1]
Hepatocystis vassali is a species of parasitic protozoa that infect mammals.
Hepatocystis pteropi is a species of parasitic protozoa. The vertebrate hosts are mammals.
Megaloschizonts are large schizonts that produce extremely high numbers of merozoites. They are found in various species of the Phylum Apicomplexa. The Apicomplexa phylum contains several parasitic protozoans. They have a very complex life cycle that includes several stages. Megaloschizonts and the smaller schizonts are the part of the life cycle that takes place inside the infected host organism and operates as an asexually reproductive cell. Megaloschizonts appear as grey-white nodules found in the smooth muscle of major organs, such as the heart, liver, lung or spleen.

Hepatocystis is a genus of parasites transmitted by midges of the genus Culicoides. Hosts include Old World primates, bats, hippopotamus and squirrels. This genus is not found in the New World. The genus was erected by Levaditi and Schoen, 1932, as Hepatocystes.
