Leucocytozoon
''Leucocytozoon '' (or ''Leukocytozoon'') is a genus of parasitic alveolates belonging to the phylum Apicomplexa (which also includes the malaria parasites). The species of this genus use either blackflies ('' Simulium'' species) or a biting midge as their definitive host and birds as their intermediate host. There are over 100 species in this genus. Over 100 species of birds have been recorded as hosts to these parasites. Life cycle Parasites in the genus ''Leucocytozoon'' have a life cycle that involves both a bird host, and a black fly (with the exception of ''Leucocytozoon caulleryi'' which cycles between a bird host and a biting midge). Parasites enter the bird host in a form called a sporozoite through the bite of the blood-sucking black fly. The sporozoites invade host cells in the liver where they undergo asexual replication, forming numerous daughter cells called merozoites within 4–5 days. The duration of this stage depends in part upon the species. In some spe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Leucocytozoon Caulleryi
''Leucocytozoon caulleryi'' is a species of the genus ''Leucocytozoon'', a genus of parasitic alveolates. This species has both insect (''Culicoides'' species) and vertebrate (birds) hosts. Description History This species was originally described by Mathis and Leger in 1909. The species was also described by Akiba in Japan in 1958. A second species - ''Leucocytozoon schufneri'' - was described by Prowazek in 1912 also in the chicken. This is now considered to be a synonym. This species has been classified into the subgenus '' Akiba'' because of its vector: other species in the genus are transmitted by species of the genus ''Simulium''. Life cycle The parasite is transmitted by the bite of its vector. On infection of a vertebrate host, the parasites enter the blood stream and spread through the body. They invade the endothelial cells in a number of organs. These grow into multinucleated masses - megaloschizonts. This first round of schizonts give rise to the first generati ...
