  • Title: Hematozoa in two populations of the threatened red-billed chough in Spain.
    Author: Blanco G, Merino S, Tella JL, Fargallo JA, Gajón A.
    Journal: J Wildl Dis; 1997 Jul; 33(3):642-5. PubMed ID: 9249715.
    Abstract:
    The prevalence of hematozoa in two populations of red-billed choughs (Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax) was sampled in 1992 and 1994 in Spain. Two blood parasites infected red-billed choughs. A species of Plasmodium, possibly Plasmodium relictum, and the piroplasm Babesia frugilegica, are described for the first time from this host. Low prevalence (1/178, < 1%) of hematozoa in these populations, was evidence for a lack of effects of blood parasites on the life history and conservation of this threatened species in at least the two populations studied.
