Attraction between sexes : male-female gametocyte behaviour within a Leucocytozoon toddi (Haemosporida)

Parasitology Research, 2008
Understanding the breeding systems of Plasmodium, and the closely related Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon (Apicomplexa: Haemosporida), is fundamental to virulence and transmission research.

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 ...

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.

Heterogeneous distribution of avian malaria parasites across mosquito species: disproportionate involvement of Culex restuans in the Midwestern United States. [PDF]

Malar J
Background Avian malaria parasites and related haemosporidians are diverse and widespread vector-borne parasites that circulate within complex host-vector networks.

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.

Analysis of clinical and hematological characteristics and search for hemoparasites in owls (Strigiformes: ‎Strigidae) seized or rescued from the Atlantic Forest biome of the Rio de Janeiro (southeastern Brazil)

Bioscience Journal, 2023
Hemoparasitism is known to vary according to the presence of vectors and hosts, and hematological examination can be a useful tool for early diagnosis in avian medicine, contributing to monitoring and conservation of bird populations. In this context, we

Phylogenetic assessment of <i>Plasmodium</i> (<i>Saurocytozoon</i>) <i>tupinambi</i> comb. nov. (Haemosporida, Plasmodiidae) in golden tegu lizards: shedding light on a long-standing Haemosporida taxonomic puzzle. [PDF]

Parasitology
AbstractHaemosporidians constitute a monophyletic group of vector-borne parasites that infect a wide range of vertebrate hosts, including Neotropical lizards. The remarkable diversity of these host-parasite associations and inadequate research on certain parasite groups have resulted in controversial haemosporidian taxonomy.

The monophyly of Nycteria and Polychromophilus parasites: a missing piece in the evolution of malaria and other Haemosporida. [PDF]

Malar J
Abstract Haemosporida is a diverse order of vector-borne apicomplexan parasites infecting terrestrial vertebrates worldwide, including humans, but the evolutionary relationships among its genera remain unresolved. The phylogenetic placement of two bat-restricted genera, Nycteria and
