On Leucocytozoon parasites of Ardeidae and description of one species
Annales De Parasitologie Humaine Et Comparee
|March 1, 1980
Abstract:
In peripheral blood of Nycticorax nycticorax and Egretta garzetta (Aves, Ardeidae), gametocytes of the genus Leucocytozoon (Protozoa, Sporozoa) were found. We describe this parasite and compare it with the past records of Leucocytozoon in Ardeidae. While only life cycle studies will give a definitive answer to these taxonomic problems, we put forward an hypothesis about taxonomy of Leucocytozoon in Ardeidae.
