Standard sampling techniques underestimate prevalence of Avian Hematozoa in willow ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus)
A total of 68 willow ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus L.) was collected during September 1,995 from two localities in Troms Count),, northern Norway. Thin blood smears were prepared and examined for blood parasites. Of the 68 willow ptarmigan exaniined, 94% harbored one or More species of hematozoa. There...
