In peripheral blood of Nycticorax nycticorax and Egretta garzetta (Aves, Ardeidae), gametocytes of the genus Leucocytozoon (Protozoa, Sporozoa) were found. We describe this parasite and compare it with the past records of Leucocytozoon in Ardeidae. While only life cycle studies will give a definitive answer to these taxonomic problems, we put forward an hypothesis about taxonomy of Leucocytozoon in Ardeidae.
Résumé
Dans le sang périphérique de Nycticorax nycticorax et de Egretta garzetta (Aves, Ardeidae) ont été trouvés des gamétocytes du genre Leucocytozoon (Protozoa, Sporozoa). Nous décrivons ce parasite et, bien que seule l’étude de leur cycle biologique permette de résoudre les problèmes taxonomiques, nous proposons une révision de la classification des Leucocytozoon signalés chez les Ardeidae.
