| haemoproteus and schistosoma synthesize heme polymers similar to plasmodium hemozoin and beta-hematin. | many parasites digest hemoglobin as an amino acid source, but only a few produce heme polymer pigment instead of catabolizing heme via heme oxygenase. this work compares purified heme polymers produced by haemoproteus columbae and schistosoma mansoni to that of plasmodium falciparum hemozoin and synthetic beta-hematin. fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy identifies the signature peaks of the common iron-carboxylate bond characteristic in all four heme polymers. however, all pigments could be ... | 2001 | 11254949 |
| therapeutic effects of some antihaematozoal drugs against haemoproteus columbae in domestic pigeons. | three antihaematozoal drugs were tested for the treatment of pigeons naturally infected with haemoproteus columbae. butalex (buparvaquone) was found effective against the parasite either by using the recommended dose (r. d.) or the double (d. d.) dosis. the r. d. of berenil (diminazene aceturate) was not effective while the d. d. reduced the number of gametocytes circulating in the infected blood. triquine was found very toxic to the pigeons both the r. d. and the d. d. | 1999 | 10085582 |

| parasite mediated mortality and host immune response explain age-related differences in blood parasitism in birds. | an important pattern in host-parasite assemblages is a higher intensity of parasites in juveniles than in adults, but the reasons for these differences remain obscure. three non-mutually exclusive hypotheses have been proposed: (1) heavily parasitized juveniles die before being recruited into the adult population ('selection' hypothesis); (2) the development of an acquired immunity by the host in front of the parasite reduces the intensity of the parasite in adult hosts ('immunity' hypothesis); ... | 2003 | 16228253 |

| how predictable is the abundance of double gametocyte infections? | it has been proposed that erythrocytes, infected by one male and one female gametocyte, enhance malaria transmission by lowering encounter time between male and female gametes once inside the mosquito vector. this may have important implications if they occur in human plasmodium infections. double gametocyte infections (dgis) have been found in plasmodium cultures, but it is thought that they are an artefact due to the artificially high crowding of cultures. here, we studied gametocyte density a ... | 2005 | 15940516 |

| histopathology and morphology of the tissue stages of haemoproteus columbae causing mortality in columbiformes. | two doves from the same aviary died following heavy infections with haemoproteus columbae. histopathological examination of various organs revealed numerous schizonts and megaloschizonts. there seemed to be two cycles of schizogony, one within the muscles and another in a wide range of tissues. the shape and size of the schizonts appeared to be a function of the site of formation. the rupture of megaloschizonts, especially in the striated muscles caused extensive fibre necrosis and the resultant ... | 1993 | 18670998 |
| effect of haemoproteus columbae infection on the hemogram of the pigeons (columba livia domestica). | it has been reported that parasites affect the health and productivity of birds, initiate excessive preening which interrupts feeding, as the birds spend much time preening rather than being involved in other essential life activities. haemoproteuscolumbae occurs in pigeons widely in tropical and subtropical regions. the present investigation was concentrated on the effect of h. columbae infection on the hemogram and changes in the number of white blood cells in infected pigeons. blood samples t ... | 2016 | 27876958 |

| in vitro development of haemoproteus columbae (haemosporida: haemoproteidae), with perspectives for genomic studies of avian haemosporidian parasites. | the evolutionary origin of wildlife and human malaria parasites (plasmodium spp.) has been discussed for several decades. the lack of genomic data about species of wildlife haemosporidian parasites related to plasmodium limits the number of taxa available for phylogenetic analysis. genomic data about avian parasites of the genus haemoproteus parasites, the sister genus to plasmodium are still not available, mainly due to difficulties in obtaining pure dna of parasites inhabiting nucleated avian ... | 2015 | 26297677 |
| an experimental test of the effects of behavioral and immunological defenses against vectors: do they interact to protect birds from blood parasites? | blood-feeding arthropods can harm their hosts in many ways, such as through direct tissue damage and anemia, but also by distracting hosts from foraging or watching for predators. blood-borne pathogens transmitted by arthropods can further harm the host. thus, effective behavioral and immunological defenses against blood-feeding arthropods may provide important fitness advantages to hosts if they reduce bites, and in systems involving pathogen transmission, if they lower pathogen transmission ra ... | 2014 | 24620737 |

| sex-specific effects of an avian malaria parasite on an insect vector: support for the resource limitation hypothesis. | many parasites, such as those that cause malaria, depend on an insect vector for transmission between vertebrate hosts. theory predicts that parasites should have little or no effect on the transmission ability of vectors, e.g., parasites should not reduce vector life span as this will limit the temporal window of opportunity for transmission. however, if the parasite and vector compete for limited resources, there may be an unavoidable physiological cost to the vector (resource limitation hypot ... | 2012 | 23236915 |
