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.

The apicoplast of Haemoproteus columbae: A comparative study of this organelle genome in Haemosporida

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2021
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.

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.

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.

Prevalence patterns of avian haemosporida on Hispaniola

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, 2010
We used PCR to screen for the presence of haemosporidian parasites (Phylum: Apicomplexa; Order: Haemosporida) in avian blood samples, and sequenced the parasite mitochondrial cytochrome b gene from infected hosts, to study patterns in the prevalence of haemosporidians in 1,166 individuals of ...

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 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 ...

Avian haemosporidian (Haemosporida: Plasmodium and Haemoproteus) in the department of Arauca, Colombian Orinoquia region

Parasitology Research, 2022
Avian haemosporidian from the genera Haemoproteus and Plasmodium are a diverse and widely distributed group of vector-borne blood parasites. These parasites can have negative effects on bird survival by influencing several aspects of their life cycle, causing different clinical signs and even death.

A phylogenetic study of Haemocystidium parasites and other Haemosporida using complete mitochondrial genome sequences

open access: yesInfection, Genetics and Evolution, 2020
Haemosporida are diverse vector-borne parasites associated with terrestrial vertebrates. Driven by the interest in species causing malaria (genus Plasmodium), the diversity of avian and mammalian haemosporidian species has been extensively studied, relying mostly on mitochondrial genes, particularly cytochrome b.
