| Abstract |
Penultimate and ultimate instar larvae of 12 species of black flies, including one species complex, were collected from 49 stream sites in South Carolina. Larvae were screened for the presence of trichomycete fungi and ichthyosporean protists to investigate the relationships between the prevalence of each symbiote and ecoregion, host species, season, and stream variables. Eleven species of black flies were colonized by at least seven trichomycete species, and two ichthyosporean species. Prevalence of Harpella melusinae Léger & Duboscq showed significant ecoregional and seasonal differences. However, no significant relationship between ecoregion and season was found for the prevalence of each trichomycete. Prevalence of Paramoebidium curvum Lichtwardt differed significantly between host species (Simulium notiale Stone & Snoddy and Simulium tuberosum species complex), but there was no significant relationship between ecoregion and host species for the ichthyosporean. |
