In this study, we use a highly efficient PCR approach to detect blood parasites and investigate the factors influencing geographical variation in the distribution of leucocytozoids parasitizing nestling eagle owls (Bubo bubo) over a 3-year study period. We found that both prevalence and intensity of infections by the single lineage of Leucocytozoon ziemanni infecting nestling eagle owls in the study area increased with local owl population density and decreased with nest height above sea level. Overall, these results suggest that higher horizontal transmission rates under higher host density conditions together with the presence of adequate habitats for larval development of vectors are relevant factors influencing blood parasite distribution in the study system. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/144211 | DOI: | 10.1007/s10592-009-9978-x | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1007/s10592-009-9978-x issn: 1566-0621 e-issn: 1572-9737 |
