X 46. here many dead gregarines were found but in moist places there were many still alive. Cysts were only taken from females and older nymphs. Of the males examined two were heavily infected but all the parasites were very immature and only cephalonts ( individuals with epimerites) were found. The guts of the males seemed very empty and it would appear that they do not feed when mature. The third male examined had very large testes filled with actively motile spermatozoa; the gut in this case seemed to have degenerated and was filled with air bubbles. No parasites were discovered. All nymphs examined were infected. The earlier instars were lightly infected with young cephalonts while the later instars also contained mature sporonts in syzygy and even had gametocysts in the posterior Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original South African Museum.
