Leucocytozoidae
''Leucocytozoon '' (or ''Leukocytozoon'') is a genus of parasitic Alveolata, alveolates belonging to the phylum Apicomplexa (which also includes the malaria parasites). The species of this genus use either blackflies (''Simulium'' species) or a biting midge as their definitive host and birds as their intermediate host. There are over 100 species in this genus. Over 100 species of birds have been recorded as hosts to these parasites. Life cycle Parasites in the genus ''Leucocytozoon'' have a life cycle that involves both a bird host, and a black fly (with the exception of ''Leucocytozoon caulleryi'' which cycles between a bird host and a biting midge). Parasites enter the bird host in a form called a sporozoite through the bite of the blood-sucking black fly. The sporozoites invade host cells in the liver where they undergo asexual replication, forming numerous daughter cells called merozoites within 4–5 days. The duration of this stage depends in part upon the species. In ...
