title: [The description and laboratory cultivation of Leptomonas repentinus sp.n. ( Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae)--a parasite of the water strider Gerris rufoscutellatus].
abstract: A new homoxenos trypanosomatide, Leptomonas repentinus sp. n., is described from the digestion tract of the water strider Gerris rufoscutellatus. The laboratory culture of L. repentinus has been obtained. Cultural stages of L. repentinus have been studied with TEM. The mitochondrion and kinetoplast have unusual structure. Large symbiont-like spherical bodies have been found in the mitochondrial matrix.
