- Аннотация: Haemosporidians (Haemosporida) are blood parasites that infect birds and use dipteran insects as vectors. Most data on avian haemoparasites came from the northern temperate zone, while only few studies were conducted in the tropics. In this study, we analyzed prevalence of haemosporidian parasites in relation to leukocyte profile in two tropical babblers from the Pellorneidae family: the Abbott's Babbler (Malacocincla abbotti) and Puff-throated Babbler (Pellorneum ruficeps). We captured birds in Southern Vietnam (Nam Cat Tien National Park; N 11°25.274', E 107°25.663'; 175 m a. s. l.). Leukocyte profile (heterophil-to-lymphocyte ratio: H /L ratio) was determined from blood smears under an optical microscope. To reveal prevalence of haemosporidians and identify parasite lineages, we analyzed blood smears under an optical microscope and blood samples using a standard PCR protocol. The prevalence was 50% in both babbler species. Plasmodium parasites only were detected in Abbott's Babbler, while both Plasmodium and Haemoproteus were found in Puff-throated Babbler. We then related the H/L ratio to the presence of haemosporida. We found that H/L ratio was higher in uninfected birds. This study was supported by RSF project No. 24-24-00131.
