Leucocytozoon (Haemosporida; Leucocytozoidae) of the Falconiformes

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1977
Falconiform-inhabiting species of Leucocytozoon are reviewed and a checklist of Falconiformes known to harbor Leucocytozoon is included. Morphological measurements were made from 11 falconiform species to examine the interspecific and intraspecific variations. These formed the basis for the redescription of gametocytes of L. toddi Sambon.

Origin and diversity of malaria parasites and other Haemosporida

Trends in Parasitology, 2023
Symbionts, including parasites, are ubiquitous in all world ecosystems. Understanding the diversity of symbiont species addresses diverse questions, from the origin of infectious diseases to inferring processes shaping regional biotas. Here, we review the current approaches to studying Haemosporida's species diversity and evolutionary history.

Patterns of Haemoproteus majoris (Haemosporida, Haemoproteidae) megalomeront development

Acta Tropica, 2020
Blood parasites of the genus Haemoproteus (Haemosporida, Haemoproteidae) are cosmopolitan and prevalent in birds. Numerous species and lineages of these pathogens have been identified. Some of the infections are lethal in avian hosts mainly due to damage of organs by tissue stages, which remain insufficiently investigated.

Rediscovery of Plasmodium (Huffia) huffi (Apicomplexa, Haemosporida): a lost lineage from toucans

Parasitology Research, 2021
Literature data on toucans haemosporidians are scarce and all reports come from investigations in Brazil. Muniz et al. (Rev Bras Malariol 3: 339-356, Muniz et al., Rev Bras Malariol 3:339-356, 1951) and Muniz and Soares (Rev Bras Malar 611-617, Muniz J, Soares R de RL (1954) Nota sôbre um parasita do gênero Plasmodium encontrado no Ramphastos toco ...

Haemoproteus infections (Haemosporida, Haemoproteidae) kill bird-biting mosquitoes

Parasitology Research, 2013
Haemoproteus parasites (Haemosporida, Haemoproteidae) are widespread; some species cause severe diseases in avian hosts. Heavy Haemoproteus infections are often lethal for biting midges (Ceratopogonidae), which transmit avian haemoproteids, but there is no information regarding detrimental effect on other blood-sucking insects.

Two NewHaemoproteusSpecies (Haemosporida: Haemoproteidae) from Columbiform Birds

Journal of Parasitology, 2013
Here we describe Haemoproteus (Haemoproteus) multivolutinus n. sp. from a tambourine dove (Turtur timpanistria) of Uganda and Haemoproteus (Haemoproteus) paramultipigmentatus n. sp. (Haemosporida, Haemoproteidae) from the Socorro common ground dove (Columbina passerina socorroensis) of Socorro Island, Mexico.

Molecular and Morphological Analyses of Leucocytozoon Parasites (Haemosporida: Leucocytozoidae) in Raptors From Thailand

Acta Parasitologica, 2021
Leucocytozoon spp. causes a vector-borne disease that is nonpathogenic in domestic and wild birds. To date, there was no report of leucocytozoonosis in raptors from Thailand.This study was carried out to perform morphological and molecular analyses of Leucocytozoon in 400 raptors at a rehabilitation center at Kasetsart University, Thailand during a 7 ...

Prevalence and diversity of avian Haemosporida infecting songbirds in southwest Michigan

Parasitology Research, 2017
Avian blood parasites from the genera Plasmodium, Haemoproteus, and Leucocytozoon (Haemosporida) affect hosts in numerous ways. They influence species interactions, host behavior, reproductive success, and cause pathology and mortality in birds. The Great Lakes region of North America has extensive aquatic and wetland habitat and supports a diverse ...

Molecular detection of Leucocytozoon (Apicomplexa: Haemosporida) in black flies (Diptera: Simuliidae) from Thailand

Acta Tropica, 2019
Information regarding vector-parasite association is necessary for fully understanding the epidemiology of vector borne diseases yet, this information is lacking in the case of Leucocytozoonosis in the Oriental region, despite a high incidence of the disease.
