Table 1 Genetic lineages of haemosporidian parasites detected in collared sand martins (Riparia riparia) from breeding colonies in coastal and inland Germany (DE) and Hungary (HU), and from a spring migration passage site in Greece (GR). N gives sample size per site, and cells contain the number the number of infected hosts. Additionally, the nearest known lineage (for newly detected lineages), host orders and the potential region of infections based on information derived from the MalAvi database [35] are given. The relative parasite diversity gives the percentage of number of lineages per infected host individuals at a specific site.

From: Spatially different annual cycles but similar haemosporidian infections in distant populations of collared sand martins
