Abstract

Monoxenous trypanosomatidHerpetomonas trimorphasp. nov. was isolated from the digestive tract of the biting midgeCulicoides truncorum(Ceratopogonidae, Diptera). This species forms three distinct morphotypes in culture: the microflagellate promastigote, the small promastigote and the long promastigote. The last form is unique for the newly described species. Phylogenetic analyses of SSU rRNA and glycosomal glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase genes showed thatH. trimorphasp. nov. is the closest relative ofHerpetomonas ztiplika, another monoxenous trypanosomatid isolated from biting midges. However, morphological and randomly amplified polymorphic DNA analyses confirmed thatH. trimorphasp. nov. is distinct fromH. ztiplika.
