Genetic diversity and host specificity varies across three genera of blood parasites in ducks of the Pacific Americas Flyway.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2015

Abstract excerpt

Birds of the order Anseriformes, commonly referred to as waterfowl, are frequently infected by Haemosporidia of the genera Haemoproteus, Plasmodium, and Leucocytozoon via dipteran vectors. We analyzed nucleotide sequences of the Cytochrome b (Cytb) gene from parasites of these genera detected in six species of ducks from Alaska and California, USA to characterize the genetic diversity of Haemosporidia infecting...
