Cockroaches; Insects -- Ecology
_Natural hosts._--_Blatta orientalis_, _Blattella germanica_,
_Periplaneta americana_, U.S.A. (Young, 1935): The organism when present
occurs in large numbers in the posterior part of the intestine near the
anus. The protozoan was successfully cultivated in a hemoglobin-saline
medium.
Family OXYMONADIDAE
=Oxymonas doroaxostylus= (Cleveland et al.)
_Synonymy._--_Saccinobaculus doroaxostylus_ Cleveland et al. [Cleveland,
1950].
_Natural host._--_Cryptocercus punctulatus_, U.S.A., Appalachian and
Pacific coast areas (Cleveland et al., 1934).
=Oxymonas nana= Cleveland
_Synonymy._--_Saccinobaculus minor_ Cleveland et al. [Cleveland, 1950].
_Natural host._--_Cryptocercus punctulatus_, U.S.A., Appalachian and
Pacific coast areas (Cleveland et al., 1934).
Family DINENYMPHIDAE
=Saccinobaculus ambloaxostylus= Cleveland et al.
_Natural host._--_Cryptocercus punctulatus_, U.S.A., Appalachian and
Pacific coast areas (Cleveland et al., 1934).
=Saccinobaculus lata= Cleveland
_Natural host._--_Cryptocercus punctulatus_, U.S.A. (Cleveland, 1950b):
There are at least two other species of _Saccinobaculus_ in _C.
punctulatus_ that have not been described.
=Notila proteus= Cleveland
_Natural host._--_Cryptocercus punctulatus_, U.S.A., Appalachian and
Pacific coast areas (Cleveland, 1950b).
Family TRICHOMONADIDAE
* =Trichomonas hominis= (Davaine)
_Experimental vectors._--_Blatta orientalis_, South Africa (Porter,
1918); Italy (Mariani and Besta, 1936).
_Periplaneta americana_, South Africa (Porter, 1918); U.S.A. (Hegner,
1928).
=Trichomonas= sp.
_Natural vector._--Cockroach, Venezuela (Tejera, 1926): Organism found
in digestive tract of the cockroach.
Family HEXAMITIDAE
=Hexamita cryptocerci= Cleveland et al.
_Natural hosts._--_Cryptocercus punctulatus_, U.S.A. (Cleveland et al.,
1934).

_Natural hosts._--_Blatta orientalis_, U.S.S.R. (Zasukhin, 1930):
Organism is found in the hind gut. Eighty-five percent of over 3,000 _B.
orientalis_ contained this organism.
_Periplaneta americana_, Philippine Islands (Hegner and Chu, 1930).
"Küchenschaben," Austria (Bĕlăr, 1916).

_Natural host._--_Leucophaea maderae_, Philippine Islands (Hegner and
Chu, 1930): The flagellates were present in large numbers.
* =Giardia intestinalis= (Lambl)
_Experimental vectors._--_Blatta orientalis_, South Africa (Porter,
1918).
_Blattella germanica_, Brazil (Pessôa and Corrêa, 1927).
_Eurycotis floridana_, U.S.A. (Young, 1937).
_Leucophaea maderae_, Brazil (Pessôa and Corrêa, 1927).
_Periplaneta americana_, South Africa (Porter, 1918); Gold Coast Colony
(Macfie, 1922); Brazil (Pessôa and Corrêa, 1927); U.S.A. (Young, 1937).
_Periplaneta brunnea_, U.S.A. (Young, 1937).
