A SURVEY OF THE OCCURRENCE OF BLOOD PARASITES IN THE LOCAL BIRD POPULATION IN THE HIRAM, OHIO, AREA

DOUGLAS G. SMITH 1

1 Hiram College, Hiram, Ohio

Eight of sixteen bird species examined in the Hiram, Ohio, area harbored parasites of the genera Haemoproteus, Plasmodium and Leucocytozoon. Blood protozoa were found in 50% of the individuals surveyed. The most prevalent haemosporidian genus encountered was Leucocytozoon. Haemoproteus was less prevalent and Plasmodium was found in the fewest numbers of birds examined.
