FIGURE 1 in Molecular characterization of Haemoproteus sacharovi (Haemosporida, Haemoproteidae), a common parasite of columbiform birds, with remarks on classification of haemoproteids of doves and pigeons

FIGURE 1. Mature gametocytes of haemoproteids of columbiform birds: Haemoproteus (Parahaemoproteus) turtur (A–C), Haemoproteus (Parahaemoproteus) sacharovi (D–F), Haemoproteus (Haemoproteus) columbae (G–I), Haemoproteus (Haemoproteus) multipigmentatus (J–L), and Haemoproteus (Haemoproteus) iwa (M–O). A, B, D, E, G, H, J, K, M, N—macrogametocytes; C, F, I, L, O—microgametocytes. Long arrows—nuclei of parasites; short arrows—unfilled spaces between gametocyte and nucleus of infected erythrocyte; triangle arrow heads—volutin granules; simple arrow head—vacuole. Giemsa-stained thin blood films. Bar = 10 µm.
