In this study, the information on distribution, biology, morphology, diseases that it transmits and suggestion on pest management strategies of “pigeon fly” Pseudolynchia canariensis (Macquart, 1839) (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) were also discussed. Material of the study P. canariensis were sampled from especially ventilation windows of the roof, and on the rats which was caught by sticky traps in ...

Haemoproteus Columbae Infection and its Histopathological Effects on Pigeons in Qena Governorate, Egypt

Several health problems can affect pigeons but parasitic infections play a major role. The genus Haemoproteus includes a large number of intracellular protozoan parasites. A total of 103 pigeons were captured from different localities of Qena Governorate from March 2013 to April 2014, blood films were obtained, fixed, stained and examined microscopically. Lungs and liver were also examined hist...

Haemoproteus columbae in domestic pigeons in Sebele, Gaborone, Botswana.

Mature and immature stages of Haemoproteus columbae gametocytes, an avian haemosporidian protozoan parasite were found in 75% of blood smears prepared from 30 healthy domestic pigeons in Sebele location, Gaborone, Botswana. Parenteral administration of an immuno-suppressive dose of dexamethasone, lowered the level of parasitaemia, the packed cell volume and the heterophil:lymphocyte ratio in th...

Phylogenetical analysis of partially sequenced cytb gene of Haemoproteus columbae in pigeons and its pathological lesions in Egypt

Background: Haemoproteus columbae is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions, causing pseudomalaria in pigeons. Aims: The current study aimed to characterize the phylogenetic position of H. columbae in pigeons in Sharkia province, Egypt, based on partial sequencing of the cytb gene as the conserved regions. The “DNA barcode” of the cytb gene helps in designing primers that can be...
