Avian blood parasites in the National Natural Park Chingaza : high Andes of Colombia

Mostrar todas las versiones(3)

Birds from the high Andes in the National Natural Park Chingaza, Colombia, were surveyed for blood parasites in April 2002 and March 2003. Of 136 birds examined, representing 40 species of 14 families, 38 were infected with blood parasites. Parasites of the genera Leucocytozoon (21.3% prevalence), P...

Of 136 birds examined, representing 40 species of 14 families, 38 were infected with blood parasites. Parasites of the genera Leucocytozoon (21.3% prevalence), Plasmodium (8.1%), Hepatozoon (2.9%), Microfilariae (2.9%) and Haemoproteus (1.5%) were recorded. Twenty five avian species in this survey were examined for blood parasites for the first time and 49 new parasite-host associations were identified. The most striking observation of this study was the high prevalence of Leucocytozoon spp. In the Neotropics, the prevalence of Leucocytozoon spp. has not been reported to be greater than 0.2% and is closely associated with the presence of migrant birds. Its presence in native avian host suggests a local transmission cycle in the zone. Fue analizada la presencia de parásitos sanguíneos en aves de páramo en el Parque Nacional Natural Chingaza (Colombia) en abril de 2002 y marzo de 2003. De las 136 aves examinadas, pertenecientes a 40 especies de 14 familias, 38 estuvieron infectadas con parásitos sanguíneos. Se registraron parásitos de los géneros Leucocytozoon (21.3% de prevalencia), Plasmodium (8.1%), Hepatozoon (2.9%), Microfilariae (2.9%) y Haemoproteus (1.5%). A 25 especies de aves se les examinó la presencia de parásitos sanguíneos por primera vez y se identificaron 49 nuevas asociaciones hospedero–parásito. La observación más sobresaliente de este estudio fue la alta prevalencia de Leucocytozoon spp., un parásito asociado estrechamente con aves migratorias en el Neotrópico, donde su prevalencia no supera el 0.2%. Su presencia en aves nativas sugiere un ciclo local de transmisión en la zona. 2008-08 PDF Inglés info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ar https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12110/hornero_v024_n01_p001
