TI  - Survey of Entomopathogenic Organisms of the Cantharis livida Linnaeus, 1758 (Coleoptera: Cantharidae) in Turkey
AB  - In the present study, one cephaline (septate) gregarine and mermithid infections were reported from theCantharidae family for the first time. These infections were determined from different populations of Cantharis lividaL. 1758 (Coleoptera: Cantharidae) in Turkey. During the observations, the main life stages of the current gregarine liketrophozoite, gamont associative form (syzygy) and gametocyst stages were observed. The gamont stage whichseparated into two parts by septum as protomerite and deutomerite was the most common stage in the host gut andovocylindrical gamonts measured 240.4 ± 29.0 (154.5-306.2; n=40) μm in length. The mermithid infection wasobserved only in two samples which were collected from Rize (total infection rate 3.22%). The determined juvenileforms were measured 270-281 μm in width and 68.6-79.98 mm in length.
