Polychromophilus spp. (Haemosporida) in Malagasy bats: host specificity and insights on invertebrate vectors [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2018
Background Bats are home to diverse haemosporidian parasites namely Plasmodium and Plasmodium-related. While information is available at a worldwide level, haemosporidian infection in bats from Madagascar is still scarce and recent changes in the ...

Polychromophilus spp. (Haemosporida: Plasmodiidae): First Molecular Detection in Bat Flies From Brazilian Bats. [PDF]

Integr Zool
This 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.

Keys to the avian Haemoproteus parasites (Haemosporida, Haemoproteidae)

Malaria Journal, 2022
Background Haemoproteus is a sister genus to malaria parasites (Plasmodium), which both belong to the order Haemosporida (Apicomplexa). Parasites of both genera are flourishing in birds, however, Haemoproteus species are noticeably less investigated ...

Leucocytozoon infections in tits (Aves, Paridae): blood and tissue stages investigated using an integrative approach [PDF]

Parasite
Leucocytozoon 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.

Molecular Investigation Confirms Myotis Genus Bats as Common Hosts of Polychromophilus in Brazil [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2023
Plasmodium spp. and some other blood parasites belonging to the order Haemosporida are the focus of many epidemiological studies worldwide. However, haemosporidian parasites from wild animals are largely neglected in scientific research.

Blood Parasites (Haemosporida, Trypanosomatida) in Culex pipiens: A Study and Review of Hibernating and Active Mosquitoes [PDF]

Microbiology Research
Culex pipiens mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) are widespread during warm periods and actively feed on blood while serving as vectors for various human and animal pathogens. Culex mosquitoes overwinter as adults in temperate zones, raising the question of

A non-invasive feather-based methodology for the detection of blood parasites (Haemosporida)

Scientific Reports, 2023
Blood parasite (haemosporidian) infections are conventionally detected using blood samples; this implies capturing and handling birds to obtain them, which induces stress and causes pain.

Prevalence, morphological and molecular characterization of Leucocytozoon macleani (Apicomplexa: Haemosporida) from chickens in Thailand [PDF]

Parasite
Leucocytozoon species are common in countries with warm climates but are an often neglected blood parasite in poultry. Although Leucocytozoon macleani is less virulent than Leucocytozoon caulleryi, it can still negatively impact production performance ...

Haemosporidian parasites (Apicomplexa, Haemosporida) of breeding common starling Sturnus vulgaris in Latvia

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 5, September 2025.
Migratory behaviour in seasonal environments affects host–pathogen relationships, especially for vector‐transmitted blood parasites of the order Haemosporida. The common starling Sturnus vulgaris is a short‐distance migrant where the north‐eastern European breeding population spend the non‐breeding season in temperate mild western Europe.
