  • Title: Blood parasites of birds in Cameroon.
    Author: Kirkpatrick CE, Smith TB.
    Journal: J Parasitol; 1988 Dec; 74(6):1009-13. PubMed ID: 3142989.
    Abstract:
    Birds from south-central Cameroon, western Africa, were surveyed for blood parasites from August to October 1986. Of 331 birds examined, representing 65 species of 15 families and 6 orders (mostly passerines), 55 (17%) were found to be infected with 1 or more genera of hemotropic parasites. These included: Haemoproteus spp. (11% prevalence), Leucocytozoon spp. (3%), Plasmodium spp. (2%), Trypanosoma spp. (1%), and microfilariae of filariid nematodes (1%). Several new host-parasite associations were identified.
