Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 137-150, January 2026.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.

Leucocytozoon spp. infection in Accipitriformes birds in Iran [PDF]
Journal of Parasitic Diseases, 2016 Leucocytozoon spp. (Haemosporida, Leucocytozoidae) are vector-borne parasites of various birds. Leucocytozoon can infect different reticuloendothelial tissues and blood cells of birds. In this study peripheral blood samples were collected from Accipitriformes birds [three marsh harriers (Circus aeruginosus) and one tawny eagle (Aquila rapax)] in one ...

Blood parasite infections in a wild population of ravens (Corvus corax) in Bulgaria
Malaria Journal, 2018 Background Blood parasites have been studied intensely in many families of avian hosts, but corvids, a particularly cosmopolitan family, remain underexplored.

Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 192-202, January 2026.South America has a remarkable genetic diversity of avian haemosporidians, yet only a few species have been described combining molecular and morphological data. This study introduces Plasmodium (Novyella) pyriglenae sp. nov., a new species infecting the white‐shouldered fire‐eye (Pyriglena leucoptera) in Brazil.

Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 60-68, January 2026.Avian haemosporidians are widely distributed; however, the role of migratory and non‐migratory birds, as well as environmental conditions, is incompletely understood. A histogram of the number of parasite lineages per ecoregion shows the variation in avian haemosporidian richness across space.

Survey of Leucocytozoon in South Carolina
Poultry Science, 1976 An extensive survey of birds for Leucocytozoon in South Carolina during the summer of 1972 revealed that Blue Jays, Purple Grackles and domestic chickens were commonly infected. No alternate hosts were found for Leucocytozoon smithi of turkeys.

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 10, Page 1908-1921, October 2025.Avian blood parasites are widespread and often considered benign, yet mounting evidence suggests they subtly impair host traits. This meta‐analysis is timely and necessary to quantify their true impact across systems, challenging assumptions and highlighting overlooked consequences for fitness and population dynamics. Abstract Stressors that subtly yet
