Haemoparasites of falcons in France: a 2 - year survey in the Cevennesı with description of two new Haemoproteid species from poly-parasitised birds Author Puech, Marie-Pierre Author Chavatte, Jean-Marc Author Landau, Irène Author Karadjian, Grégory text Journal of Natural History 2019 2019-11-05 53 33 2023 2037 journal article 10.1080/00222933.2019.1675792 1464-5262 3654543 FB26BDF1-67C1-40FB-874E-A63834CEC79D

Table 3. Size of Haemoproteus obainae n. sp. and red blood cells. Uninfected red blood cells (uninf RBC), microgameto- cytes (micro), macrogametocytes (macro), red blood cells harbouring microgametocytes (micro RBC) or macrogameto- cytes (macro RBC). Results are expressed as mean length and width (in µm) ± SD, n = 20. The gametocytes were measured from the anterior to the posterior extremity taking care of its curvature.
