Blood Parasites in Domestic Birds in Central Iran

Veterinary Sciences, 2020
Parasites may affect the dynamics of bird populations. Plasmodium, Leucocytozoon and Haemoproteus are well-known avian haematozoa that can trigger decreased productivity and high mortality in domesticated birds. In this study, we evaluated the prevalence

Tissue stages of Haemoproteus parasites (Haemosporida, Apicomplexa) in Ficedula flycatchers with evidence for phenotypic variation in Haemoproteus balmorali and implications for haemosporidian taxonomy / [PDF]

During exo-erythrocytic merogony, avian Haemoproteus parasites (Apicomplexa, Haemosporida) develop distinct tissue stages: small meronts and large megalomeronts.

Co-infecting Haemoproteus species (Haemosporida, Apicomplexa) show different host tissue tropism during exo-erythrocytic development in Fringilla coelebs (Fringillidae) [PDF]

, 2023
Avian haemosporidians of the genera Plasmodium, Haemoproteus, and Leucocytozoon are common blood parasites in wild birds all over the world. Despite their importance as pathogens potentially compromising host fitness and health, little is known about the
