Notes:
. Two persisting stages in the life cycle of a hemogregarine Karyolysus sp. are described from the liver and blood cells of its intermediate host, the lizard Lacerta raddei nairensis. The tissue cell merozoites lie in a parasitophorous vacuole. Despite the protective role of the vacuolar membrane, the intracellular parasites are progressively destroyed and eliminated during the autumn and winter. Some of the merozoites that normally survive within the host cell even in cold seasons appear to be surrounded by another type of parasitophorous vacuole which is connected to the intercellular space by narrow channels. The intraerythrocytic gamonts that persist in the circulating blood are encapsulated and undergo progressive, obvious structural changes. The two persisting stages are compared with hypnozoites of other Sporozoa.
