The aseptate gregarine,Ascogregarina chagasi(Adler and Mayrink), found in a Colombian strain ofLutzomyia longipalpis(Lutz and Neiva), was fed to the larvae of seven species of laboratory-bred sand flies:Phlebotomus papatasi(Scopoli),P. argentipesAnnandale and Brunetti,P. perniciosusNewstead,L. serrana(Damasceno and Arouck),L. abonnenci(Floch and Chassignet),L. columbiana(Ristorcelli and Van Ty), and a gregarinefree Brazilian strain ofL. longipalpis. Trophozoites of the gregarine were recovered from adult sand flies of four species:P. papatasi, L. serrana, L. columbiana, and the Brazilian strain ofL. longipalpis; the parasites were able to complete their life cycle only in the Brazilian strain ofL. longipalpis. The infection rate and parasite density ofA. chagasiwere higher in the Colombian strain ofL. longipalpisthan in the Brazilian strain. Infection withA. chagasisignificantly reduced adult longevity of the Brazilian strain ofL. longipalpis, but it had little effect on fecundity.
