They occur in fish, amphibians, and reptiles, but not in mammals, and, unlike the gregarines, not in invertebrates. They are, so far as is known, non-pathogenic, and they cannot be transmitted by inoculation from one animal to another. The cycle of development, as far as it is known, will be described under the various Fig. 70. H. vanarum {or Drepanidium ranavum) young form, Gametes jree in the Plasma, and Fission forms in Spleen. {Partly after Minchin) I. H. ranarum (= Lankesterella vanarum). Found in the blood of Rana esculenta (edible frog). This species includes, according to Laveran, two species, H. prtnceps and H. monilts, described by Labbe. Here, as in other species of Note,—Ample material for the study of these parasites is readily obtainable in the tropics. Frogs, toads, lizards, snakes, tortoises, etc., are commonly infected. Examine especially the liver and internal organs for developmental forms. Examine carefully for ticks, lice, etc, and possible cycles in these.
