title: [Microsporidiosis and coccidiosis, protozoan diseases of flour beetles (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae)].
abstract: Tribolium destructor and T. confusum diseases caused by the fat body of the parasites Nosema whitei and Adelina tribolii were investigated. Life span and weight dynamics were examined at different temperatures and infection conditions. Infected females of T. confusum lay a less number of eggs. The gas produced by stink glands of T. destructor may inactivate the spores of N. whitei but does not affect those of A. tribolii.
