Hemolivia
Molecular data on H. stellata were provided in 2015 by Karadjian, Chavatte and Landau, from a 25-year-old archived smear of crushed tick (Amblyomma rotondatum).In the second phase the sporokinetes invade the body of the tick and give rise to sporocysts containing sporozoites infective to the vertebrate host.Živčicová et al. (2024) considered that the uniform morphology of the most common blood stages of species of the genus Hemolivia complicates their differential diagnosis.These sporozoites invade the body of the tick, undergo merogony and giving rise to many merozoites which are infective for the toad.H. mariae - blue-tongued skink (Tiliqua rugosa) H. mauritanica - Greek tortoise (Testudo graeca), marginated tortoise (Testudo marginata), Testudo mauritanica H. stellata - teiid lizard (Ameiva ameiva), cane toad (Bufo marinus) H. mariae - Amblyomma limbatum H. mauritanica - Hyalomma aegyptium H. stellata - Amblyomma rotondatum.
