Description and remarks. – All the gamerocytes are round and the macrogametocytes are 12.2 ± 1.8 × 9.1 ± 1.0 in size (n = 6), with a usually oval nucleus 3.7 ± 0.9 × 2.0 ± 0.4 and a distinct nucleolus; the single microgametocytes was 11.2 × 10.0 in size. The dense blue-staining macrogametocyte cytoplasm contains a few vacuoles and moderate number of round black-staining corpuscles. The pink-staining microgametocyte cytoplasm shows faint outlines of the nucleus. In the macrogametocyte, the 16.1 ± 2.9 host nucleus occupies 47% ± 11.06 of its 34.5 ± 3.9 perimeter and in the microgametocyte, the 15.4 host nucleus occupies 48% of the microgametocyte’s 32.2 perimeter.
The host nucleus degree of embracing in this Leucocytozoon corresponds with neither Leu. fringillinarum nor Leu. majoris structural schemes.
