  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;We detected no infections with species of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Plasmodium&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Haemoproteus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Leucocytozoon&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sarcocystis&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;or&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Trypanosoma&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;in blood smears, liver and spleen impressions, and muscle tissue from 136 redheads (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Aythya americana&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;) collected or captured at the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana (USA), during three winters (1987 to 1990). One bird, a juvenile male, was infected with an unidentified species of microfilaria. Thus, we found no evidence that hematozoa had an effect on redheads during the course of the study.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
