Abstract

A new species, Haemogregarina vltavensis n. sp., is described from the blood of perch (Perca fluviatilis) in southwestern Czechoslovakia. Both intra-erythrocytic and free stages interpreted as gametocytes were detected. Only one parasite per erythrocyte was found. It displaces the nucleus and fills most of the volume of the infected host cell. No other developmental stages were discovered.
