Abstract
Nosema algerae normally infects only mosquitoes by the per os route but developed in a number of different arthropods when spores were injected into the hemocoels. Representatives of other phyla were not infected when injected with N. algerae spores. Spores produced in these injected hosts were of normal size and were infectious when fed to mosquito larvae. Many more spores were produced in some of the injected hosts than were produced in the infected mosquitoes. One corn earworm larva produced as many spores as 2,000 mosquito larvae.
