Plasmodium elongatum FROM A PENGUIN

Fine Structure of the Asexual Stages of Plasmodium Elongatum

Plasmodium elongatum, an avian malarial parasite, differs from other such parasites by infecting both the circulating red blood cells and the hematopoietic cells. The exoerythrocytic development of P. elongatum occurs mainly in these red cell precursors. The fine structure of the asexual stages of P. elongatum has been studied in the bone marrow and peripheral blood of canaries and compared wit...

Radiative Penguin Decays from BABAR

Electroweak penguin decays provide a promising hunting ground for Physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). The decay B → Xsγ, which proceeds through an electromagnetic penguin loop, already provides stringent constraints on the supersymmetric (SUSY) parameter space [ 1]. The present data samples of ∼ 1 × 108BB̄ events allow to explore radiative penguin decays with branching fractions of the order...

Correction: Outbreak of Avian Malaria Associated to Multiple Species of Plasmodium in Magellanic Penguins Undergoing Rehabilitation in Southern Brazil

Avian malaria is a mosquito-borne disease caused by Plasmodium spp. Avian plasmodia are recognized conservation-threatening pathogens due to their potential to cause severe epizootics when introduced to bird populations with which they did not co-evolve. Penguins are considered particularly susceptible, as outbreaks in captive populations will often lead to high morbidity and rapid mortality. W...
