Abstract
Based on immunological methods, the prawn Palaemon elegans apparently acts as the natural intermediate host for Aggregata octopiana, a cocci dian that infects the cephalopod Octopus vulgaris. However, cross-reac tivity with another coccidian, A. eberthi, was present in both sporogo nic and merogonic stages.
