Abstract: | Spores of Nosema algerae, a microsporidan parasite of mosquitoes, were subcutaneously injected into the ears, tail, and feet of white mice. Infections were transient and localized at the injection sites. Spore germination tests in blood plasma indicated that it is unlikely that spores injected by an infected mosquito bite would result in an infection. |
