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 ...

Haemoproteus minutus is highly virulent for Australasian and South American parrots [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Haemoproteus and Plasmodium species are widespread avian blood parasites. Several Plasmodium species are known for their high virulence and have caused significant declines in naïve bird populations.

Exo-erythrocytic development of two Haemoproteus species (Haemosporida, Haemoproteidae), with description of Haemoproteus dumbbellus, a new blood parasite of bunting birds (Emberizidae)

International Journal of Parasitology, 2023
Avian haemosporidians are widespread parasites categorized into four families of the order Haemosporida (Apicomplexa). Species of the subgenus Parahaemoproteus (genus Haemoproteus) belong to the Haemoproteidae and are transmitted by Culicoides biting ...

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

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.

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 ...

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 ...

PCR-RFLP detection of Haemoproteus spp. (Haemosporida: Haemoproteidae) in pigeon blood samples from Iran [PDF]

Bulgarian Journal of Veterinary Medicine, 2018
This study was carried out to determine Haemoproteus spp. infection in pigeons in Iran. Blood sam-ples collected from pigeons were examined for Haemoproteus spp. using stained blood smears and polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Occurrence of leucocytozoon and haemoproteus [PDF]

Annales de Parasitologie Humaine et Comparée, 1984
Blood smears from Falconiformes (91 birds of 10 species) and Strigiformes (23 birds of 5 species) captured in Italy, were examined for haematozoa. Leucocytozoon were found in Falco tinnuculus, Buteo buteo, Circus cyaneus, Circus pygargus, Accipiter nisus from Falconiformes and in Strix aluco, from Strigiformes.

Exo-erythrocytic stages of Haemoproteus sp. in common buzzard (Buteo buteo): A histopathological and molecular study

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2021
Haemosporidian parasites are responsible for anemia, acute tissue degeneration, and depopulation in wild birds. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of haemosporidians and also morphologic and molecular evaluation of tissue stages of ...

Leucocytozoon cariamae n. sp. and Haemoproteus pulcher coinfection in Cariama cristata (Aves: Cariamiformes): first mitochondrial genome analysis and morphological description of a leucocytozoid in Brazil

Parasitology, 2023
The distribution of avian haemosporidians of the genus Leucocytozoon in the Neotropics remains poorly understood. Recent studies confirmed their presence in the region using molecular techniques alone, but evidence for gametocytes and data on putative ...
