Molecular survey of the haemosporidians Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon in Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) from the Brazilian Amazon. [PDF]
Rev Bras Parasitol VetHaemosporidians 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 ...

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.
