Integrating coalescent species delimitation with analysis of host specificity reveals extensive cryptic diversity despite minimal mitochondrial divergence in the malaria parasite genus Leucocytozoon

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018
Background Coalescent methods that use multi-locus sequence data are powerful tools for identifying putatively reproductively isolated lineages, though this approach has rarely been used for the study of microbial groups that are likely to harbor many ...

Analytic Approaches in Genomic Epidemiological Studies of Parasitic Protozoa

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) plays an important role in the advanced characterization of pathogen transmission and is widely used in studies of major bacterial and viral diseases. Although protozoan parasites cause serious diseases in humans and animals, WGS data on them are relatively scarce due to the large genomes and lack of cultivation techniques

First microscopic, pathological, epidemiological, and molecular investigation of Leucocytozoon (Apicomplexa: Haemosporida) parasites in Egyptian pigeons. [PDF]

Front Vet Sci
IntroductionLeucocytozoon is an intracellular blood parasite that affects various bird species globally and is transmitted by blackfly vectors. This parasite is responsible for leucocytozoonosis, a disease that results in significant economic losses due to reduced meat and egg production.

Unraveling the host range of Plasmodium huffi: morphological, histopathological and molecular characterization in red-legged seriemas from Brazil

Parasitology
Avian Plasmodium parasites can be pathogenic to their vertebrate hosts. Although cases of anaemia are frequently reported in parasitized birds, the potential damage caused by the parasite during the exoerythrocytic reproduction phase remains poorly ...

Under the light: high prevalence of haemoparasites in lizards (Reptilia: Squamata) from Central Amazonia revealed by microscopy [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
Blood samples from 330 lizards of 19 species were collected to investigate the occurrence of haemoparasites. Samplings were performed in areas of upland (terra-firme) forest adjacent to Manaus municipality, Amazonas, Brazil. Blood parasites were detected

Plasmodium carmelinoi n. sp. (Haemosporida: Plasmodiidae) of the lizard Ameiva ameiva (Squamata: Teiidae) in Amazonian Brazil

Parasite, 2010
Plasmodium carmelinoi n. sp. is described in the teiid lizard Ameiva ameiva from north Brazil. Following entry of the merozoites into the erythrocyte, the young, uninucleated trophozoites are at first tearshaped and already possess a large vacuole: with ...
