dc.description.abstract	The morphology and life-cycle of Lambornella stegomyiae, a facultative parasitic ciliate of larval Aedes albopictus, were described. Parasitic and free-living ciliates multiply by transverse binary fission. Free-living ciliates occasionally undergo conjugation. Infection in larval mosquitoes may be transtadially transmitted to adult stages when larval hosts do not succumb to the infection. Infected adults are fertile. Besides fertile eggs, female mosquitoes deposit ciliates and infected eggs during oviposition. Results suggest that L. stegomyiae may survive through droughts in infected Ae. albopictus eggs and as desiccation resistant cysts.	en_US
