  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;We surveyed Emperor Geese (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Chen canagica&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;) in western Alaska for avian hematozoa. Blood smears were collected from 134 adults and goslings in late July 1996, on their breeding grounds on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. One of 134 (0.7%) Emperor Geese harbored&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Leucocytozoon simondi&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;, representing a new host record for this parasite. No other hematozoa were detected. This is one of few reports of avian blood parasites from the arctic tundra.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
