Simultaneous transmission of Trypanosoma mukasai, Babesiosoma mariae and Cyrilia nili to fish by the leech Batracobdelloides tricarinata.
Trypanosoma mukasai (HOARE, 1932), Babesiosoma mariae (HOARE, 1930) and Cyrilia (= Haemogregarina) nili (WENYON, 1909) were concurrently transmitted from Tilapia nilotica to Clarias lazera using the leech vector Batracobdelloides tricarinata. Concurrent transmission was more successful in immature Clarias lazera in which prepatent periods were shorter and patency longer than in mature fish.
