BACKGROUND
Leucocytozoonosis is a disease of birds caused by obligate intracellular protozoa of the genus Leucocytozoon. We determined the prevalence of Leucocytozoon spp. using light and transmission electron microscopy in domestic birds in southwest of Iran.
METHODS
A total of 825 blood smears from 275 birds were examined for presence of infection. The structure morphology of Leucocytozoon spp. was studied using light and electron microscopy.
RESULTS
Forty-four (16.0%) of the birds were positives for Leucocytozoon. The detected parasite were found in 14 chickens (5.1%), 12 geese (4.3%), 10 ducks (3.6%), and 8 turkeys (2.9%). The majority of the records were from the northeastern regions.
CONCLUSION
Leucocytozoonosis are distributed in the Lorestan province bird population and electron microscopy can resolve the problem to distinguish between similar species of Leucocytozoon.
背景
住白细胞虫病是由住白细胞虫属专性细胞内原生动物引起的鸟类疾病。我们利用光学显微镜和透射电子显微镜确定了伊朗西南部家禽中住白细胞虫属的感染率。
方法
共检查了来自275只鸟类的825份血涂片，以检测是否存在感染。利用光学显微镜和电子显微镜研究了住白细胞虫属的结构形态。
结果
44只（16.0%）鸟类住白细胞虫检测呈阳性。检测到的寄生虫存在于14只鸡（5.1%）、12只鹅（4.3%）、10只鸭（3.6%）和8只火鸡（2.9%）中。大多数记录来自东北部地区。
结论
住白细胞虫病分布于洛雷斯坦省的鸟类种群中，电子显微镜可以解决区分住白细胞虫相似物种的问题。
