Aegyptianella ranarum sp. n. (Rickettsiales, Anaplasmataceae) was recorded from bullfrogs (Rana catesbeiana Shaw), green frogs (Rana clamitans Latreille) and mink frogs (Rana septentrionalis Baird) from five sites in southern Ontario. The rickettsia occurs within membrane-bound vacuoles in the cytoplasm of erythrocytes with up to 120 organisms in mature inclusions. The pattern of replication of A. ranarum in host erythrocytes and its prevalence over a 3-yr period in frogs from Algonquin Park, Ontario are discussed.
埃及无浆体蛙新种（立克次氏体目，无形体科）是在安大略省南部五个地点的牛蛙（北美牛蛙，肖氏）、绿蛙（绿蛙，拉特雷尔）和貂蛙（北美貂蛙，贝尔德）体内发现的。这种立克次氏体存在于红细胞细胞质中膜结合的液泡内，成熟包涵体中最多有120个生物体。本文讨论了埃及无浆体蛙在宿主红细胞中的复制模式及其在安大略省阿尔冈昆公园的青蛙中3年期间的流行情况。
