摘要

The spiny-tailed lizard, Uromastyx aegyptia microlepis, in Abu Dhabi is parasitized by Haemocystidium apigmentada n. sp., and 2 species of Hepatozoon. The elongate gametocytes of H. apigmentada are 13-19 x 6-9 gm, with length x width (LW) 90-133 mu m(2), and L/W ratio 1.56-3.17. Gametocyte dimensions do not differ by sex. Gametocytes are unpigmented. Hepatozoon species 1 has gamonts with a consistently terminal nucleus, with dimensions of 13-16 X 4.5-7 mu m, LW of 58-104 mu m(2), and L/VV ratio of 2.00-3.22. Hepatozoon species 2 gamonts have a broad nucleus at the midbody, and dimensions of 13-15.5 x 5-7 mu m, LW of 71-109 mu m(2), and L/W ratio of 1.93-3.00.
