Haemoparasites of Reptiles

  • Chapter
Diseases of Amphibians and Reptiles

Abstract

The haemoparasites of reptiles include representatives of all taxonomic groups which parasitize the other vertebrate classes: trypanosomatid flagellates, haemogregarines, haemosporidia and filariid nematodes, as well as a heterogeneous assemblage of organisms or inclusions which possibly contains viruses, bacteria, rickettsiae, piroplasmids and probably artifacts of staining as well.
