Resumen
Durante el año 2014 se llevó a cabo una investigación sobre el nivel de parasitemia de Columba livia (Gmelin, 1789) capturadas en palomares en condiciones de semilibertad. Para ello, se realizó el muestreo de 101 muestras en dos poblaciones jiennenses, Mancha Real (15) y Fuerte del Rey (86), de las cuales el 26,73% (n=27) han presentado hemoparásitos pertenecientes al género Haemoproteus. Según su morfología se deben a la especie Haemoproteus columbae (Kruse, 1890). La toma de muestras se llevó a cabo en dos recogidas de periodo distinto. En la segunda población, además se analizaron 4 muestras procedentes de Streptopelia risoria (Linnaeus, 1758) resultando todas libres de parásitos. Otros objetivos son la frecuencia relativa de aparición de macrogametocitos y microgametocitos de las especies de hemosporidios en cada palomar, y el recuento de eritrocitos y glóbulos blancos en relación al número de gametocitos. Cada población presentaba diferentes niveles de parasitemia.
This investigation, concerning the level of parasitemia of Columba livia (Gmelin, 1789) captured in dovecotes in conditions semi-freedom, has been made during 2014. Ous sample included blood of 101 pigeons proceding from two different places of Jaén [Mancha Real (15) and Fuerte del Rey (86)], of which 26.73% (n = 27) had hemoparasites of gender Haemoproteus. According to their morphology they could be assigned to the species Haemoproteus columbae (Kruse, 1890). The sampling in Fuerte del Rey was done in two differents moments. In the second population, also 4 samples of Streptopelia risoria (Linnaeus, 1758) was analyzed, and it was free of parasites. Other objectives are to study the relative frequency of occurrence of macrogametocytes and microgametocytes of species of haemosporidia in each dovecotes, and the erythrocyte and white blood cells count, in relation to the number of gametocytes. Each one of studied population had different levels of parasitemia.
