(BioMed Central, 2016)
Background
Saurian malaria parasites are diverse apicomplexan blood parasites including the family Plasmodiidae Mesnil, 1903, and have been studied since the early 1900s. Currently, at least 27 species of Plasmodium are ...
Hepatozoon species (Adeleorina: Hepatozoidae) of African bufonids, with morphological description and molecular diagnosis of Hepatozoon ixoxo sp. nov. parasitising three Amietophrynus species (Anura: Bufonidae)
(BioMed Central, 2014)
Background
Haemogregarines comprise a large group of apicomplexan blood parasites. In 1996 all anuran haemogregarines still in the genus Haemogregarina Danilewsky, 1885 were reassigned to the genus Hepatozoon Miller, ...
Redescription, molecular characterisation and taxonomic re-evaluation of a unique African monitor lizard haemogregarine Karyolysus paradoxa (Dias, 1954) n. comb. (Karyolysidae)
(BioMed Central, 2016)
Background: Within the African monitor lizard family Varanidae, two haemogregarine genera have been reported.
These comprise five species of Hepatozoon Miller, 1908 and a species of Haemogregarina Danilewsky, 1885.

Drought-associated absence of alien invasive anchorworm, Lernaea cyprinacea (Copepoda: Lernaeidae), is related to changes in fish health
(Elsevier, 2017)
Recently, Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus Peters, 1852) were listed on the IUCN Red List as near-threatened as their populations are at risk due to hybridization. Another factor that potentially contributes to ...
Redescription and molecular diagnosis of Hepatozoon theileri (Laveran, 1905) (Apicomplexa: Adeleorina: Hepatozoidae), infecting Amietia quecketti (Anura: Pyxicephalidae)

Blood smears prepared from the peripheral blood of 20 wild caught Amietia quecketti (Boulenger) from the North-West
University Botanical Gardens, North West Province, South Africa, were examined for the presence of ...
Monophyly of the species of Hepatozoon (Adeleorina: Hepatozoidae) parasitizing (African) anurans, with the description of three new species from hyperoliid frogs in South Africa
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2018)
Haemogregarines (Apicomplexa: Adeleiorina) are a diverse group of haemoparasites reported
from almost all vertebrate classes. The most commonly recorded haemogregarines to parasitize
anurans are species of Hepatozoon ...
First Hemolivia from southern Africa: reassigning chelonian Haemogregarina parvula Dias, 1953 (Adeleorina: Haemogregarinidae) to Hemolivia (Adeleorina: Karyolysidae)
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)
To date, only a single species of Hemolivia, Hemolivia mauritanica (Sergent & Sergent, 1904), has been described
from African terrestrial tortoises. Although various haemogregarines have been described from southern ...
Occurrence of Hepatozoon canis (Adeleorina: Hepatozoidae) and Anaplasma spp. (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae) in black-backed jackals (Canis mesomelas) in South Africa
(BioMed Central, 2018)
Background:
Domestic dogs are not native to sub-Saharan Africa, which may account for their susceptibility to
Babesia rossi
, of which endemic black-backed jackals (
Canis mesomelas
) are natural reservoirs. There is ...
Neofoleyellides boerewors n. gen. n. sp. (Nematoda: Onchocercidae) parasitising common toads and mosquito vectors: morphology, life history, experimental transmission and host-vector interaction in situ
(Elsevier, 2020)
Anuran filarial nematodes are restricted to two comparatively small subfamilies (Icosiellinae and Waltonellinae) of the filariae that currently comprise six genera and 41 recognised species. However, the life histories of ...

(Elsevier, 2020)
Haemogregarine (Apicomplexa: Adeleorina) blood parasites are commonly reported from anuran hosts. Dactylosomatidae (Jakowska and Nigrelli, 1955) is a group of haemogregarines comprising Dactylosoma Labbé, 1894 and Babesiosoma ...
