Explore the world of gregarines with new species descriptions and practical study methods.
This classic monograph reports on how gregarines live inside hosts, their habitats, seasonal patterns, and movement. It also covers how these parasites reproduce and where they fit in the broader system of related species. The work describes twenty-two new species and includes a concise synopsis of polycystid gregarines known from Orthoptera, Coleoptera, and Myriapoda worldwide. It blends field observations with careful laboratory technique to help researchers verify identifications and understand parasite-host relationships.
- Learn the biology of gregarines: habitat, host relations, seasonal distribution, and movement.
- Study live parasites with step-by-step methods for observing, fixing, and staining.
- Review measurements, morphology, and terminology used to describe gregarines.
- Access a structured synopsis that helps prevent duplicating names and records.
Ideal for readers of early 20th‑century invertebrate parasite research, this edition supports students and researchers seeking a solid, reference‑grade overview of gregarine biology and taxonomy.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of Gregarines, a group of parasitic protozoa that inhabit invertebrates. Drawing on years of research, the author meticulously examines the biology and morphology of these fascinating creatures. From their intricate life cycles and modes of reproduction, to their often complex relationships with their hosts, the author presents a comprehensive exploration of these often-overlooked organisms. Building upon the work of earlier researchers like Minchin, Lankester, and Butschli, the author adds valuable new insights into the field, including detailed descriptions of twenty-two newly discovered species. The book further examines the movements of Gregarines, proposing theories on their mode of locomotion, a subject that has been debated since the first discoveries of these organisms in the 19th century. This detailed and highly insightful work offers a unique perspective on the intricate world of parasites and their impact on the ecosystems they inhabit.
