Sexual Development in Non-Human Parasitic Apicomplexa: Just Biology or Targets for Control?
The phylum Apicomplexa is a major group of protozoan parasites including gregarines, coccidia, haemogregarines, haemosporidia and piroplasms, with more than 6000 named species. Three of these subgroups, the coccidia, hemosporidia, and piroplasms, contain

Morphological features and differential counts of Plasmodium knowlesi parasites in naturally acquired human infections. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Human infections with Plasmodium knowlesi, a simian malaria parasite, are more common than previously thought. They have been detected by molecular detection methods in various countries in Southeast Asia, where they were initially diagnosed ...

Endoparasites in birds of Guaribas Biological Reserve, Atlantic Forest, Paraíba state, Brazil
This paper describes the findings on endoparasites in Atlantic forest birds at Guaribas Biological Reserve, Paraíba State, Northeast of Brazil. We captured 151 birds with mist nets in ten field expeditions between July 2010 and June 2011 and studied bird

Prospects for elucidating the phylogeny of the Apicomplexa
The Apicomplexa is traditionally considered to contain four clearly defined groups, but the phylogenetic relationships among these groups, and their subsequent taxonomic arrangement, are currently unclear.

Searching for putative avian malaria vectors in a Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest in Brazil
Background Haemosporidian parasites of the genera Plasmodium and Haemoproteus can have detrimental effects on individual birds and populations. Despite recent investigations into the distribution and richness of these parasites and their vertebrate hosts,

Avian haemosporidia: Prevalence, host specificity, vectors [PDF]
Haemosporidia are a group of protozoan parasites that shifts between vertebrates and insect vectors during a complicated life cycle. In this thesis I have focused on two of the genera infecting birds, Plasmodium and Haemoproteus (sometimes together ...
