Prevalence and Genetic Diversity of Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon in Raptors and Other Captive Birds at the National Zoological Garden in South Africa. [PDF]
Captive birds at the National Zoological Garden in South Africa harbor diverse haemosporidian parasite species and lineages. This might compromise conservation efforts of threatened species. ABSTRACT Avian haemosporidian infections have been associated with disease outbreaks in zoos and rehabilitation centers globally. This study aimed to determine the

Apicomplexa is a phylum of parasitic protozoa; among them are the order Haemosporida, vector-borne parasites that include those that cause malaria (genus Plasmodium). Most Apicomplexa species have a non-photosynthetic plastid or apicoplast. Given its unique metabolic pathways, this organelle is considered a target for malaria therapeutics.
