Molecular Investigation Confirms Myotis Genus Bats as Common Hosts of Polychromophilus in Brazil [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2023 Plasmodium spp. and some other blood parasites belonging to the order Haemosporida are the focus of many epidemiological studies worldwide. However, haemosporidian parasites from wild animals are largely neglected in scientific research.

Diversity, distribution, and drivers of Polychromophilus infection in Malagasy bats [PDF]
Malaria Journal, 2021 Background Numerous studies have been undertaken to advance knowledge of apicomplexan parasites infecting vertebrates, including humans. Of these parasites, the genus Plasmodium has been most extensively studied because of the socio-economic and public ...

Non-invasive investigation of Polychromophilus parasite infections in bat populations in Serbia using bat flies [PDF]
Parasites and Vectors, 2023 Background Haemosporidian parasites of the genus Polychromophilus infect bats worldwide. They are vectored by obligate ectoparasitic bat flies of the family Nycteribiidae.

Wide Distribution and Diversity of Malaria-Related Haemosporidian Parasites (Polychromophilus spp.) in Bats and Their Ectoparasites in Eastern Europe [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2021 Malaria is responsible for major diseases of humans, while associated haemosporidians are important factors in regulating wildlife populations. Polychromophilus, a haemosporidian parasite of bats, is phylogenetically close to human-pathogenic Plasmodium ...

Complete mitochondrial genome analyses confirm that bat Polychromophilus and ungulate Plasmodium constitute a distinct clade independent of other Plasmodium species [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 In recent phylogenetic studies, bat Polychromophilus and ungulate Plasmodium, two relatively understudied haemosporidian parasites within the Apicomplexa phylum, have often been overlooked.

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 ...

Epidemiological traits of the malaria-like parasite Polychromophilus murinus in the Daubenton’s bat Myotis daubentonii [PDF]
Parasites and Vectors, 2014 Background The great diversity of bat haemosporidians is being uncovered with the help of molecular tools. Yet most of these studies provide only snapshots in time of the parasites discovered.

Host conservation through their parasites: molecular surveillance of vector-borne microorganisms in bats using ectoparasitic bat flies [PDF]
Parasite, 2020 Most vertebrates host a wide variety of haematophagous parasites, which may play an important role in the transmission of vector-borne microorganisms to hosts.

Haemosporidian Parasites of Antelopes and Other Vertebrates from Gabon, Central Africa. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Re-examination, using molecular tools, of the diversity of haemosporidian parasites (among which the agents of human malaria are the best known) has generally led to rearrangements of traditional classifications.
