Abstract

Trypanosoma (Herpetosoma) longiflagellum sp.n. (Protozoa: Trypanosomatidae) from a bat, Taphozous nudiventris, from Iraq is described. The trypanosome measures 24.0 to 34.2 μm (mean 26.4 μm, SD 2.5) in total length, 13.8 to 18.2 μm (mean 15.2 μm, SD 1.0) in body length, is 1.5 to 2.9 μm (mean 2.0 μm, SD 0.3) in breadth and has a free flagellum of 10.2 to 16.0 μm (mean 11.2 μm, SD 1.6). The nuclear index is 1.4 to 2.1 (mean 1.7 SD 0.1) and the kinetoplastic index is 1.5 to 2.6 (mean 1.9, SD 0.2). This is the second report of a bat trypanosome belonging to the subgenus Herpetosoma and the first report of trypanosomes from bats from Iraq.
