| epizootiology of plasmodium hermani in florida: chronicity of experimental infections in domestic turkeys and northern bobwhites. | a pen-reared northern bobwhite and a domestic turkey were infected with a strain of plasmodium hermani obtained originally from a wild turkey in southern florida. blood films from these 2 birds were positive microscopically for 188 and 370 days postinfection (pi), respectively. culicine mosquitoes (culex nigripalpus and c. salinarius) were blood fed on the bobwhite and the turkey at different times during the infection and used to transmit the malaria to other bobwhites and turkeys up to days 29 ... | 2004 | 15165079 |
| plasmodium forresteri n. sp., from raptors in florida and southern georgia: its distinction from plasmodium elongatum morphologically within and among host species and by vector susceptibility. | plasmodium forresteri n. sp. naturally infects eastern screech-owls (otus asio), great horned owls (bubo virginianus), barred owls (strix varia), bald eagles (haliaeetus leucocephalus), red-shouldered hawks (buteo lineatus), broad-winged hawks (buteo platypterus), and red-tailed hawks (buteo jamaicensis) in florida and southern georgia. schizonts occur in mature or nearly mature erythrocytes, produce 2-6 merozoites arranged most commonly in fan or cruciform configuration, with mean dimensions am ... | 1997 | 9379302 |
| a species of plasmodium from sandhill cranes in florida. | infections of a species of plasmodium (subgenus giovannolaia) were diagnosed in 3 sandhill cranes (grus canadensis) from north-central florida. this parasite is close morphometrically to plasmodium polare; this finding constitutes the first report of a species of plasmodium from sandhill cranes in north america. | 1994 | 8195957 |
| blood and gastrointestinal parasites of eastern wild turkeys from kentucky and tennessee. | fifty-nine gastrointestinal tracts and 52 blood samples were collected from eastern wild turkeys (meleagris gallopavo silvestris vieillot) during the spring turkey hunts of 1979-1980 from two areas in western kentucky and tennessee. eight species of parasites were recovered, and included (combined prevalence): haemoproteus meleagridis levine, 1961 (25%), hymenolepis carioca (magalhaes, 1898) (44%), metroliasthes lucida ransom, 1900 (25%), raillietina georgiensis (reid and nugara, 1961) (15%), r. ... | 1984 | 6492320 |

| multifocal autochthonous transmission of malaria--florida, 2003. | the majority of malaria cases diagnosed in the united states are imported, usually by persons traveling from areas where malaria is endemic. however, small outbreaks of locally acquired mosquito-borne malaria continue to occur. during july-september 2003, an outbreak of malaria (eight cases of plasmodium vivax malaria) occurred in palm beach county, florida. during the same period, two patients were evaluated for malaria in neighboring okeechobee county, approximately 75 miles from the palm beac ... | 2004 | 15152184 |
