While it was thought that " Haemoproteus " was limited to doves and related species, species in this genus have been isolated from frigatebirds.
22.
Since " Haemoproteus " evolved after the evolution of birds this would suggest that an upper limit for the evolution of this genus is approximately.
23.
The genus also hosts endoparasites such as " Haemoproteus prognei " ( avian malaria ), which are transmitted by blood-sucking insects including mosquitoes.
24.
The only blood parasites found in a study of blackcaps trapped on migration were protozoans from the genera " Haemoproteus " and " Plasmodium ".
25.
A species " Haemoproteus raymundi " has been described from a specimen from Goa but the identification and taxonomic placement of this malaria-like protozoan is disputed.
26.
A protozoal blood parasite, " Haemoproteus orioli ", described from this species has been suggested to occur in many oriole species but may represent different lineages.
27.
This species was originally described by Celli & Sanfelice in 1891 as " Haemoproteus alaudae ", and it was first discovered in the blood of the skylark.
28.
In 1884 he was the first to observe the species of " Haemoproteus ", parasitic protozoan in the blood of birds, and established the order Haemospororida for it.
29.
Vertebrate predators of young birds include cats and crows . a tick, " Hyalomma marginatum ", and at least two species of " Haemoproteus " blood parasites.
30.
The species infecting avian hosts have been divided into two subgenera " Haemoproteus " and " Parahaemoproteus " a division proposed in 1965 by Bennett et al.
