Uninvited guests: diversity and specificity of Trypanosoma infections in frog-biting midges (Corethrella spp.)

Abstract Background Female frog-biting midges (Corethrella) are hematophagous micropredators that feed on frogs and serve as vectors for trypanosomes (Trypanosoma), unicellular flagellate parasites.
