Disentangling Leucocytozoon parasite diversity in the neotropics: Descriptions of two new species and shortcomings of molecular diagnostics for leucocytozoids.

Disentangling Leucocytozoon parasite diversity in the neotropics: Descriptions of two new species and shortcomings of molecular diagnostics for leucocytozoids.

Avian communities from South America harbor a unprecedented diversity of Leucocytozoon species (Haemosporida, Leucocytozoidae). Here, of 890 birds sampled, 10 (1.2%) have been contaminated with Leucocytozoon parasites. Among them, two new species have been found and described. Leucocytozoon grallariae sp. nov. and Leucocytozoon neotropicalis sp. nov. have been Read more
