Abstract
A total of 75 trumpeter swans (O. buccinator (Richardson)) from the Grande Prairie region of Alberta was examined for hematozoa; 26 (34.6%) swans were infected with Haemoproteus nettionis. A single infection of Leucocytozoon simondi and 2 of Plasmodium circumflexum were recorded. Local, 2nd year (SY) and adult (AHY) female swans had closely similar rates of hematozoan infection; the SY and AHY male swans had substantially higher infection rates than other subgroups.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
