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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Polychromophilus spp. (Haemosporida: Plasmodiidae): First Molecular Detection in Bat Flies From Brazilian Bats. [PDF]
Integr ZoolThis study identifies Polychromophilus sp. in blood‐feeding flies (Basilia speiseri and Basilia lindolphoi) from Myotis nigricans bats in Brazil, marking the first molecular detection of the parasite in an insect vector in this country. Two haplotypes were identified, both within the Polychromophilus murinus group.

New mitochondrial genomes of parasites belonging to the Leucocytozoon toddi and Haemoproteus nisi groups (Haemosporida, Apicomplexa) [PDF]
Parasites & VectorsBackground Avian haemosporidians are single-celled eukaryotic parasites of vertebrates that require dipteran vectors for transmission. The genera Plasmodium, Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon currently comprise over 5000 parasite lineages based on a 478-bp ...

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 ...

A New Species of Plasmodium of the Subgenus Novyella Infecting White-Shouldered Fire-Eyes (Pyriglena leucoptera) (Aves: Thamnophilidae) in Brazil. [PDF]
Integr ZoolSouth America has a remarkable genetic diversity of avian haemosporidians, yet only a few species have been described combining molecular and morphological data. This study introduces Plasmodium (Novyella) pyriglenae sp. nov., a new species infecting the white‐shouldered fire‐eye (Pyriglena leucoptera) in Brazil.

Leucocytozoon infections in tits (Aves, Paridae): blood and tissue stages investigated using an integrative approach [PDF]
ParasiteLeucocytozoon species are cosmopolitan and prevalent avian parasites, with some infections being lethal, mainly due to the exo-erythrocytic development of the parasite in bird tissues.
