Blood smears from Falconiformes (91 birds of 10 species) and Strigiformes (23 birds of 5 species) captured in Italy, were examined for haematozoa. Leucocytozoon were found in Falco tinnuculus, Buteo buteo, Circus cyaneus, Circus pygargus, Accipiter nisus from Falconiformes and in Strix aluco, from Strigiformes. Haemoproteus were found in Falco tinnuculus and Strix aluco ; this latter species harbored mixed infections Leucocytozoon-Haemoproteus. Prevalences were 20.80% in Falconiformes and 21.74% in Strigiformes.
Résumé
Des frottis de sang de Falconiformes (91 individus de 10 espèces) et de Strigiformes (23 exemplaires de 5 espèces) capturés en diverses localités italiennes ont été examinés. On y a rencontré la présence de Leucocytozoon dans Falco tinnuculus, Buteo buteo, Circus cyaneus, Circus pygargus, Accipiter nisus parmi les Falconiformes et chez Strix aluco parmi les Strigiformes. Haemoproteus a été observé chez Falco tinnuculus et chez Strix aluco ; dans ce dernier, une infection de Haemoproteus-Leucocytozoon a été observée. Les pourcentages d’infections observés ont été respectivement de 20.80% pour les Falconiformes et de 21.74% pour les Strigiformes.
