ARE LEUCOCYTOZOON SAKHAROFFI SAMBON AND LEUCOCYTOZOON BERESTNEFFI SAMBON SYNONYMOUS?
The size of the gametocytes of a leucocytozoon in young crows shows a wide variation in birds obtained in different localities. The host cell nucleus of infected cells may be pushed to one side, almost surround the parasite, or be intermediate between these extremes. Previous descriptions, given by various authors, of Leucocytozoon sakharoffi and L. berestneffi show similar differences in these characters. L. berestneffi is considered therefore to be a synonym of L. sakharoffi.
