The 18S rRNA genes of Haemoproteus (Haemosporida, Apicomplexa) parasites from European songbirds with remarks on improved parasite diagnostics [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2023
Background The nuclear ribosomal RNA genes of Plasmodium parasites are assumed to evolve according to a birth-and-death model with new variants originating by duplication and others becoming deleted.

Diversity of haemosporidian parasites in cranes: description of Haemoproteus balearicae and its phylogenetic position within the H. antigonis clade [PDF]

Parasite
Haemosporidian parasites from the genera Haemoproteus, Plasmodium, and Leucocytozoon are significant avian pathogens. This study aimed to identify and characterize these parasites in cranes (family Gruidae), using combined morphological and molecular ...

Culicoides segnis and Culicoides pictipennis Biting Midges (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae), New Reported Vectors of Haemoproteus Parasites [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2022
As bloodsuckers of birds, Culicoides biting midges (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae) play an important role in the transmission of avian haemosporidian (Haemoproteus) parasites, which are prevalent in many bird populations and cause disease, pathology, or even ...

First Investigation of Haemosporidian Species and Record of Novel Genetic Lineages in Eurasian Griffon Vultures (Gyps fulvus) in Greece [PDF]

Veterinary Sciences
Eurasian griffon vultures (Gyps fulvus) are endangered scavenger birds. Haemosporidian parasites infect the blood cells and organs of many avian species globally, using blood-sucking insect vectors, and they negatively affect health of birds and ...

High Abundance of Haemoproteus Parasites in Culicoides (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae), with a Confirmation of Culicoides reconditus as a New Vector of These Avian Blood Parasites [PDF]

Insects
Haemoproteus parasites are the most diverse among Haemosporida. However, their natural vectors (Culicoides) are still poorly investigated and were identified for only a few parasite species and lineages. The application of an integrative approach (insect
