a comparison of the blood parasites in three subspecies of the yellow wagtail motacilla flava.	one-hundred and eighty yellow wagtails motacilla flava belonging to 3 subspecies (motacilla flava feldegg, motacilla flava flava, motacilla flava thunbergi) were caught during the spring migration in south kazakhstan and investigated by microscopic examination of stained blood smears. haemoproteus anthi, haemoproteus motacillae, leucocytozoon fringillinarum, leucocytozoon majoris, plasmodium relictum, plasmodium polare, atoxoplasma sp., trypanosoma sp., and microfilariae were identified. the ove ...	2001	11534666
blood parasites, body condition, and wing length in two subspecies of yellow wagtail (motacilla flava) during migration.	blood parasites of migrating yellow wagtails of two subspecies--motacilla flava feldegg and motacilla flava flava-were studied on a sample of 473 birds caught in spring and autumn periods in bulgaria. we controlled eight "migration waves" (flocks captured in different evenings) of yellow wagtails for four parameters--average body mass, average fat level, average wing length, and average prevalence of different hematozoan species. gametocytes or meronts of a total of six species of hematozoa belo ...	2012	22278726
molecular characterization of haemosporidian parasites (haemosporida) in yellow wagtail (motacillaflava), with description of in vitro ookinetes of haemoproteus motacillae.	in studies of haemosporidian systematics and taxonomy, a combination of microscopic examination and molecular identification has been recommended. the yellow wagtail (motacillaflava) is a frequently used species in studies of host-parasite interactions; blood parasites of this bird have been well studied using microscopic examination of blood films, but data on molecular characterization of the parasites are scattered. here we present the first study linking several haemosporidian cyt b sequence ...	2013	26217857
genetic diversity of avian haemosporidians in malaysia: cytochrome b lineages of the genera plasmodium and haemoproteus (haemosporida) from selangor.	the knowledge of the diversity of haemosporidian parasites is of primary importance as their representatives include agents of bird malaria. we investigated the occurrence of haemoproteus spp. and plasmodium spp. in bird populations from a single locality in the state of selangor, peninsular malaysia, and report on the parasite prevalence of the two genera. a combination of methods (molecular and morphological) was used for detecting these parasites. seventy-nine bird individuals were caught usi ...	2015	25577987
