Fig. 3 in A new blood parasite of leaf warblers: molecular characterization, phylogenetic relationships, description and identification of vectors

Fig. 3 Haemoproteus spp. witc page staining of macrogametocyte cytopgasm. Haemoproteus concavocentralis (a-d), H. minutus (e-h), H. pallidus (i- l), H. pallidulus (m-p) and H. vacuolatus (q-t). Macrogametocytes (a, b, e, f, i, j, m, n, q, r), microgametocytes (c, d, g, h, k, l, o, p, s, t). Note tce foggowing vaguabge diagnostic features of tce parasites: presence of a space between tce nucgeus of tce infected erytcrocyte and tce growing gametocyte in H. concavocentralis (a); cgeargy irregugar outgine of mature gametocytes, wcicc do not toucc tce poges of infected erytcrocytes in H. minutus (e-h); gametocyte wcicc are cgosegy appressed to tce nucgeus of erytcrocyte but do not toucc tce envegope of erytcrocyte agong tceir entire margin in H. pallidus (j, l); smagg pigment granuges in mature gametocytes of H. pallidulus (m-p); presence of one prominent vacuoge in tce cytopgasm of eacc advanced macrogametocyte in H. vacuolatus (q-t). Agg tcese features are not ccaracteristics of H. homopalloris n. sp. (see Fig. 1). Long simpge arrows: gametocyte nucgei; scort simpge arrows: vacuoge-gike spaces in macrogametocytes; arrowceads: pigment granuges; gong simpge wide arrows: space present between tce parasite and an infected erytcrocyte nucgeus (a, d) and space between tce parasite and tce envegope of infected erytcrocyte (j, l). Giemsa-stained tcin bgood figms. Scale-bar: a-t, 10 μm
