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

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária
Haemosporidians 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 ...

Haemoproteus syrnii and other haemosporidians infecting owls from North America [PDF]

Malaria Journal
Background Haemosporidians (Haemosporida, Apicomplexa), which include malaria parasites, are found in nearly all terrestrial ecosystems. Avian haemosporidians have been extensively studied; however, there is limited information on parasites in owls ...

The epidemiology of a novel Leucocytozoon parasite in an endangered population of marbled murrelets (Brachyramphus marmoratus) on the Oregon coast [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Parasitism is a known cause of morbidity and mortality in wildlife species and may exacerbate population declines in species threatened by changing landscapes.

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

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
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 ...

Use of Contaminated Habitat and Associated Selenium Uptake Mediate Haemosporidian Parasite Infections in Wild Passerine Birds. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We conducted a community‐scale field study to evaluate whether trace element contaminants derived from coal combustion residuals and nuclear fission products alter the dynamics of haemosporidian blood parasites, dipteran vectors, and avian hosts in riparian and wetland habitats in South Carolina, USA.

Prevalence of Avian Haemosporidian Parasites: A Comparative Study between Resident and Migratory Birds of Iraq [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics, 2023
Haemosporidians are a diverse group of vector-borne parasitic protozoa that have a global distribution and some of them live in the avian body as a benign parasite, with no symptoms.

Prevalence and Genetic Diversity of Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon in Raptors and Other Captive Birds at the National Zoological Garden in South Africa. [PDF]

Integr Zool
Captive birds at the National Zoological Garden in South Africa harbor diverse haemosporidian parasite species and lineages. This might compromise conservation efforts of threatened species. ABSTRACT Avian haemosporidian infections have been associated with disease outbreaks in zoos and rehabilitation centers globally. This study aimed to determine the

Blood Parasites and Wildlife: The Development of a Discipline. [PDF]

Integr Zool
Changes in our knowledge on blood parasite infections of wild animals in the last 30 years is reviewed with emphasis on taxonomy and phylogeny, impact of infections on fitness, and distribution of blood parasites. ABSTRACT In the last 30 years, the area of the study of parasitism caused by blood parasite infections on wildlife has suffered an ...

Avian malaria is absent in juvenile colonial herons (Ardeidae) but not Culex pipiens mosquitoes in the Camargue, Southern France [PDF]

, 2015
Apicomplexan blood parasites Plasmodium and Haemoproteus (together termed “Avian malaria”) and Leucocytozoon are widespread, diverse vector-transmitted blood parasites of birds, and conditions associated with colonial nesting in herons (Ardeidae) and ...

Leucocytozoon cariamae n. sp. and Haemoproteus pulcher coinfection in Cariama cristata (Aves: Cariamiformes): first mitochondrial genome analysis and morphological description of a leucocytozoid in Brazil

Parasitology, 2023
The distribution of avian haemosporidians of the genus Leucocytozoon in the Neotropics remains poorly understood. Recent studies confirmed their presence in the region using molecular techniques alone, but evidence for gametocytes and data on putative ...
