Exo-erythrocytic development of Leucocytozoon parasites (Haemosporida, Leucocytozoidae) in song thrushes Turdus philomelos [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2023 Leucocytozoon parasites (Haemosporida, Leucocytozoidae) are haemosporidians whose diversity, exo-erythrocytic development and potential vectors are the least studied. The knowledge about their exo-erythrocytic development and pathogenicity is fragmentary,

Prevalence of Haemosporidian Parasites in an Arctic Breeding Seabird Species—The Red-Throated Diver (Gavia stellata) [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2022 Haemosporida, vector-transmitted blood parasites, can have various effects and may also exert selection pressures on their hosts. In this study we analyse the presence of Haemosporida in a previously unstudied migratory seabird species, the red-throated ...

Blood parasites in Passeriformes in central Germany: prevalence and lineage diversity of Haemosporida (Haemoproteus, Plasmodium and Leucocytozoon) in six common songbirds [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Background Avian Haemosporida are vector-borne parasites that commonly infect Passeriformes. Molecular analyses revealed a high number of different lineages and lineage specific traits like prevalence and host-specificity, but knowledge of parasite ...

Morphological description and near-complete mitochondrial genome of Haemoproteus (Parahaemoproteus) trarotraro n. sp.: a widely distributed species reported in Brazilian falcons [PDF]
PeerJHaemosporida are vector-borne parasitic protozoa known to be present in birds of most avian orders. However, despite their perceived diversity using DNA barcode approaches, describing and delimiting species is challenging, particularly for those ...

Molecular survey of the haemosporidians Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon in Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) from the Brazilian Amazon [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia VeterináriaHaemosporidians belonging to the subgenus Haemoproteus (Parahaemoproteus) and the genus Leucocytozoon rely on dipteran vectors for transmission, with biting midges (Culicoides spp.) and black flies (Simuliidae), respectively, playing essential roles in ...

The polyphyly of Plasmodium: comprehensive phylogenetic analyses of the malaria parasites (order Haemosporida) reveal widespread taxonomic conflict [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 The evolutionary relationships among the apicomplexan blood pathogens known as the malaria parasites (order Haemosporida), some of which infect nearly 200 million humans each year, has remained a vexing phylogenetic problem due to limitations in taxon ...
