Haemoproteus columbae is a species of blood parasite related to Plasmodium and other malaria parasites.[1] Haemoproteus columbae is a true member of the genus Haemoproteus, basal to other avian Parahaemoproteus species.[2] Parahaemoproteus species have been subsequently split from Haemoproteus and are recognized as their own genus, sister to Plasmodium malaria parasites.[3]
Transmission[]
Haemoproteus columbae is transmitted by the pigeon louse fly, Pseudolynchia canariensis.
Pathology or host effects of infection with Haemoproteus columbae[]
Haemoproteus columbae infects pigeons.
It is slated for genome sequencing.[4]
