Abstract: S U M M A R YSeabirds are often free from blood parasites, and a recent review suggested that phylogenetic, ecological and life-history parameters can determine the prevalence of blood parasites in seabirds. However, there is a lack of data available from many seabird groups, and a larger database is needed to understand prevalence patterns of blood parasites. We used a molecular screening approach to detect parasites of the genera Plasmodium, Haemoproteus, Leucocytozoon and Babesia in five species of two gene… Show more

“…However, any other arrangement would make Hepatozoon paraphyletic. Since new lineages are regularly being identified, for example in birds [32], or caecilians [20] it also seems premature to rearrange the nomenclature, since new discoveries will almost certainly alter our understanding of evolutionary relationships of these parasites [33]. A similar situation arises regarding the genus Hemolivia, which also appears to be part of the same major group with Hepatozoon and Karyolysus, and for which relationships vary depending on the out-groups employed [21,34].…”

“…Combined with the study of frigatebird migrations, population genetic studies may provide new insight on parasite dispersal between oceanic islands. Although the absence of Haemoproteus in boobies has been described before [5,[22][23], the lack of positive detection in redfooted boobies on Europa is particularly surprising given the geographic proximity and interactions with frigatebirds. Redfooted boobies are nesting inside the frigatebirds colony, sometimes on the same tree (Matthieu Bastien, personal observation).…”
