Infection by Haemoproteus Parasites in Four Species of Frigatebirds and the Description of a New Species of Haemoproteus (Haemosporida: Haemoproteidae)

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,

Biting Midges (Culicoides, Diptera) Transmit Haemoproteus Parasites of Owls: Evidence From Sporogony and Molecular Phylogeny

Parasites and Vectors, 2015
Background Haemoproteus parasites are widespread, and several species cause diseases both in birds and blood-sucking insects. These pathogens are transmitted by dipterans belonging to the Ceratopogonidae and Hippoboscidae, however certain vector species ...

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 ...

Morphological and molecular characterization of Haemoproteus coatneyi and Haemoproteus erythrogravidus (Haemosporida: Haemoproteidae) in Passeriformes in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2020
Haemoproteus spp. are protozoan parasites found in birds around the world. These parasites are identified through the morphology of gametocytes, phylogenetic analysis based on the mitochondrial cytb gene, and the parasite’s geographic distribution.

Surto de malária por Haemoproteus columbae em pombos An outbreak of malaria by Haemoproteus columbae in pigeons

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2001
Relata-se um surto de malária por Haemoproteus columbae em pombos-correio (Columba livia), caracterizado por um quadro agudo com mortalidade de 3% ao dia em aves de aspecto saudável ou crônico com prostração e fraqueza. O exame clínico das aves doentes evidenciou sinusite e conjuntivite e à necropsia traqueíte hemorrágica, aerossaculite, esplenomegalia,

The Study of Biting Midges Culicoides Latreille, 1809 (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) and the Prevalence of Haemoproteus Kruse, 1890 (Haemosporida: Haemoproteidae) on the Curonian Spit of the Baltic Sea

Diversity
The part of the life cycle concerning the vectors of avian haemosporidians of the genus Haemoproteus remains only partially studied. This work presents the results of capturing and analyzing female Culicoides biting midges for Haemoproteus infection ...

Spatial Distribution and Host-Specific Patterns of Avian Haemosporidian Infections in a Semi-Arid Region of Northeastern Iran. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
A survey of 263 birds across 10 species in Semnan Province, Iran, revealed a 22.1% prevalence of avian haemosporidian infections, dominated by Haemoproteus spp. Pigeons showed significantly higher infection risk. Spatial analysis identified clustering in Shahroud County, suggesting local climatic and ecological conditions influence parasite ...
