| molecular characterization and distribution of haemoproteus minutus (haemosporida, haemoproteidae): a pathogenic avian parasite. | recently, the lineage hturdus2 of haemoproteus minutus (haemosporida, haemoproteidae) was reported to cause mortality in captive parrots. this parasite lineage is widespread and prevalent in the blackbird turdus merula throughout its entire distribution range. species identity of other closely related lineages recently reported in dead parrots remains unclear, but will be important to determine for a better understanding of the epidemiology of haemoproteosis. using polymerase chain reaction (pcr ... | 2013 | 23557683 |
| haemoproteus minutus and haemoproteus belopolskyi (haemoproteidae): complete sporogony in the biting midge culicoides impunctatus (ceratopogonidae), with implications on epidemiology of haemoproteosis. | species of haemoproteus (haemoproteidae) are cosmopolitan haemosporidian parasites, some of which cause severe diseases in birds. numerous recent studies address molecular characterization, distribution and genetic diversity of haemoproteids. however, the information about their vectors is scarce. we investigated sporogonic development of two widespread species of haemoproteus (haemoproteus minutus and haemoproteus belopolskyi) in the experimentally infected biting midge culicoides impunctatus. ... | 2014 | 25102434 |
