Abstract
SUMMARY: By the use of Freund's complete adjuvant, high-titre agglutinating antisera were prepared to nine trypanosomatids: Crithidia fasciculata (Anopheles strain), C. fasciculata (Culex strain, Wallace isolate), C. fasciculata (Culex strain, Noller isolate), C. luciliae, Crithidia sp. from Euryophthalmus davisi, Leptomonas sp. from Dysdercus suturellus, L. mirabilis, and Blastocrithidia leptocoidis. The three C. fasciculata strains (Culex, Wallace isolate: Culex, Noller isolate: Anopheles strain) and C. oncopelti are immunologically similar according to agglutination tests. Crithidia sp. from Euryophthalmus and C. luciliae are distinct from each other and from C. oncopelti. The two Leptomonas species are distinct from each other and are not closely related immunologically to Crithidia species. The trypanosomatids tested here are not separable into groups according to original host (hemiptera or diptera).
