Abstract

We obtained blood smears from 114 Florida sandhill crane (Grus canadensis pratensis) chicks in Osceola and Lake Counties, Florida, USA, during 1998-2000. Leucocytozoon grusi was observed in 11 (10%) chicks; Haemoproteus antigonis was observed in eight (7%) chicks; and three (3%) chicks were infected with Haemoproteus balearicae. One chick infected with H. balearicae suffered from severe anemia (packed cell volume = 13%) and was later found moribund. At necropsy this bird also had severe anemia and damage to the heart possibly due to hypoxia. This is the first report of H. balearicae in free-ranging North American cranes.

摘要

1998年至2000年期间，我们在美国佛罗里达州奥西奥拉县和莱克县采集了114只佛罗里达沙丘鹤（Grus canadensis pratensis）雏鸟的血涂片。在11只（10%）雏鸟中观察到格鲁氏白细胞虫（Leucocytozoon grusi）；在8只（7%）雏鸟中观察到安氏血变原虫（Haemoproteus antigonis）；3只（3%）雏鸟感染了巴利阿里血变原虫（Haemoproteus balearicae）。一只感染巴利阿里血变原虫的雏鸟患有严重贫血（红细胞压积 = 13%），后来被发现奄奄一息。尸检时，这只鸟也有严重贫血，心脏可能因缺氧而受损。这是北美野生鹤类感染巴利阿里血变原虫的首次报告。
