Treatise on Zoology - Anatomy, Taxonomy, Biology The gregarines the early branching Apicomplexa The gregarines
Gregarines are apicomplexans and exclusively parasites of invertebrates. After the basic publication in the Traité de Zoologie by Grassé in 1953, this second edition is proposed to update the knowledge with information provided by new technologies such as electron microscopy, biochemistry and mole...
