Low prevalence of Haemoproteus infections in Chiffchaffs
Parasitology, 2011 SUMMARYParasite prevalence is an important variable in many evolutionary and ecological studies. In birds, haemosporidian blood parasites have been in focus of many comparative analyses. Because low prevalence is difficult to estimate precisely and that studies finding low prevalence are more likely to remain unpublished, our knowledge of parasite ...

Sporogony of four Haemoproteus species (Haemosporida: Haemoproteidae), with report of in vitro ookinetes of Haemoproteus hirundinis: phylogenetic inference indicates patterns of haemosporidian parasite ookinete development [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2019 Background Haemoproteus (Parahaemoproteus) species (Haemoproteidae) are widespread blood parasites that can cause disease in birds, but information about their vector species, sporogonic development and transmission remain fragmentary.

Journal of Parasitology, 2012 Among seabirds, the fregatids stand out with a high prevalence of blood parasites. Four of 5 species in this family have been found to be infected with Haemoproteus; however, complete species descriptions with molecular phylogeny are lacking. Seventy-five samples from 4 species of frigatebirds, i.e., Fregata andrewsi, Fregata minor, Fregata magnificens,

Natural Vector of Avian Haemoproteus asymmetricus Parasite and Factors Altering the Spread of Infection [PDF]
Insects, 2023 Avian haemosporidians (Apicomplexa, Haemosporida) are widespread blood protists, often causing severe haemosporidiosis, pathology, or even mortality in their hosts.

Haemoproteus iwa in Great Frigatebirds (Fregata minor) in the Islands of the Western Indian Ocean [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Blood parasites of the sub-genus Haemoproteus have been reported in seabirds, in particular in species in the Suliformes order. These parasites are transmitted by hippoboscid flies of the genus Olfersia; strong specificity has been suggested between the ...

Characterization of Haemoproteus (Haemoproteus) columbae genome: as a tool for evolutionary study of Haemosporida order [PDF]
, 2019 Research on malaria has focused during a long time on the parasites that infect humans.However, it is also true that most information about the biology of this parasites comes from experimental models. For this reason, this thesis focuses on a Haemosporida parasite closely related to the Plasmodium genus, which is the Haemoproteus parasites.

Análise de Haemoproteus em pomba [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Animal and Environmental ResearchEste relatório descreve o caso de uma pomba (Columba livia) diagnosticada com o hemoparasita Haemoproteus, identificado por meio de um hemograma. O Haemoproteus é transmitido por insetos hematófagos, como a "mosca do pombo" (Pseudolynchia canariensis), e, embora geralmente causa poucos sintomas, pode levar a problemas mais graves, como anemia e perda ...

The widespread biting midge Culicoides impunctatus (Ceratopogonidae) is susceptible to infection with numerous Haemoproteus (Haemoproteidae) species [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2017 Background Haemoproteus parasites are widespread, and some species cause disease in wild and domestic birds. However, the insect vectors remain unknown for the majority of species and genetic lineages of avian Haemoproteus.
