BLOOD PARASITES OF SOME BIRDS FROM GHANA

MICHAEL WINK 1 and GORDON F. BENNETT 2

1 Institut für Angewandte Zoologie der Universität Bonn, 53 Bonn 1, West Germany
2 Department of Biology and International Reference Centre for Avian Haematozoa, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada

A total of 135 birds of 26 species in 13 families was examined for blood parasites; 43 birds (31.9%) of 13 species were infected; species of the Ploceidae were the most heavily infected. Species of Haemoproteus occurred most commonly (29 birds) while Leucocytozoon and Plasmodium species were virtually absent. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of hematozoa in birds from the mature rainforest and those in a savannah-urban setting.
