Fungi belonging to the genus Coelomomyces can infect mosquito larvae and develop within the larval hemocoel. To examine fungal development, Aedes aegypti larvae infected with Coelomomyces stegomyiae Keilin were fixed, embedded and sectioned for both light and electron microscopy. While fungal hyphae of C. stegomyiae did not invade cells other than the cuticular epithelial cells, they did penetrate a number of tissues including muscles, midgut, hemopoietic organ, imaginal discs, and Malpighian tubules.
属于腔孢菌属的真菌可感染蚊虫幼虫并在幼虫血腔中发育。为了研究真菌的发育情况，对感染了埃及伊蚊腔孢菌的埃及伊蚊幼虫进行固定、包埋和切片，用于光学显微镜和电子显微镜观察。虽然埃及伊蚊腔孢菌的真菌菌丝除了角质上皮细胞外未侵入其他细胞，但它们确实穿透了许多组织，包括肌肉、中肠、造血器官、成虫盘和马氏管。
