Abstract
Abstract Late-instar Aedes australis larvae were experimentally infected with Coelomomyces opifexi, and the subsequent development of the fungal parasite was studied. Five separate experiments involving 1190 infected larvae were conducted. Of these larvae, 114 continued development and pupated; 38 of them contained sporangia. Histological studies indicated that parasite development slowed down, if not ceased, following pupation of infected larvae, and the presence of sporangia in adults reflected the degree of advancement of infection in the larvae at pupation.
