Temporal and geographical distribution of the blood parasites in the Red-backed Shrike Lanius collurio in Serbia.
Abstract
Various species from family Laniidae have been widely studied for the presence of
haemosporidians. However, temporal and geographical distribution of the blood parasites
in the Red-backed Shrike Lanius collurio has been studied partially. We investigated the
presence and distribution of the blood haemosporidians in adult Red-backed Shrikes
during a three year breeding season in Serbia. With the prevalence of 61.5%,
Haemoproteus lanii was found to be the only parasite, present with all three known
lineages. No significant differences were recorded in number of infected males and
females. However, the distribution of parasite lineages was significantly different
comparing the years and localities. The most common lineage RBS2, with the prevalence
of 38.4%, was found during the all examined years, at most surveyed localities (from
Eastern and Southern Serbia). Lineage, RB1 with prevalence of 19.2%, was found only in
2018 in birds sampled from Eastern Serbia, while the lineage R...BS4 (prevalence 3.8%) was
sampled just once in 2019 from the Red-backed Shrike caught in Vojvodina.
