Extract

The blood parasite described in this paper occurs in the diplopod Archiulus moreleti (the common garden milliped) which is too well known to warrant any description. The incidence of the infection fluctuates considerably, varying from almost 50% to about 1% in the same locality within the course of a few months. There is apparently no seasonal rhythm of incidence.
