Abstract Wild birds interact with poultry with likelihood of exchange of blood parasites between the wild bird and poultry highlighting the need to understand wild bird parasites so as to reduce cross infection at the wild bird-poultry interface. There is paucity of data on blood parasites of wild birds in Kaduna State, Nigeria. This study investigates the prevalence and diversity of blood parasites among wild birds in Kaduna State. Blood of wild birds were examined from Febuary to June, 2012 for parasites by microscopic examination. Data were analyzed using Quantitative Parasitology software. Of 297 birds examined, 23.9 % had blood parasites with 39.4 % families and 39.3 % species infected. Parasites identified wereHaemoproteus (7.7%), Plasmodium (16.2%), Leucocytozoon (2.7%), Aegyptionella (1.3%), and microfilariae (1.3%). There was a significant difference (p=0.0) between the prevalence of Aegyptionella, Leucocytozoon, Hemoproteus and Plasmodium. Some birds (4.1 %) had multiple blood parasite infection. Leucocytozoon was dectected in Columba livia, Streptopelia senegalensis, Meleagris gallopavo, Francolinus bicalcaratus, Hirundo aethopia and Pychonotus barbatus. Live poultry markets prevalence were Plasmodium (47.8 %), Haemoproteus (15.8 %) and Aegyptionella (2.6 %). Leucocytozoon prevalence was 4.2 % in free flying birds. Anchau hadPlasmodium prevalence of 31.7 %. This study concludes that cross infection of blood parasites can occur at the wild bird-poultry interface and LWBMs encourages blood parasites transmission between countries. There is need for more studies on blood parasites of wild birds to understand their impact on the survival of wild bird species in Nigeria. Key words: Blood parasites, Kaduna State, Live wild bird markets, Nigeria, Wild birds PARASITES SANGUINS DES OISEAUX SEMI-DOMESTIQUES ET DES OISEAUX SAUVAGES DANS L’ETAT DE KADUNA AU NIGERIA Resume Les oiseaux sauvages interagissent avec les volailles, et cette interaction présente un risque d’échange de parasites sanguins entre les deux, d’où la nécessité de comprendre les parasites des oiseaux sauvages afin de réduire l’infection croisée à l’interface oiseaux sauvages - volailles. Il existe peu de données sur les parasites sanguins des oiseaux sauvages dans l’État de Kaduna au Nigeria. La présente étude examine la prévalence et la diversité des parasites sanguins chez les oiseaux sauvages dans l’État de Kaduna. Du sang prélevé sur des oiseaux sauvages a été examiné de février à juin 2012 afin de détecter les parasites par examen microscopique. Les données ont été analysées en utilisant le logiciel de parasitologie quantitative. Des 297 oiseaux examinés, 23,9 % avaient des parasites sanguins, dont 39,4 % des familles et 39,3 % d’espèces infectées. Les parasites identifiés étaient Haemoproteus (7,7%), Plasmodium (16,2%), Leucocytozoon (2,7%), Aegyptionella (1,3%), et des microfilaires (1,3%). Une différence significative (p = 0,0) a été notée entre la prévalence de Aegyptionella, Leucocytozoon, Hemoproteus et Plasmodium. Certains oiseaux (4,1%) présentaient de multiples infections par des parasites sanguins. Leucocytozoon a été détecté chez Columba livia, Streptopelia senegalensis, Meleagris gallopavo, Francolinus bicalcaratus, Hirundo aethopia et Pychonotus barbatus. Sur les marchés de volailles vivantes l’étude a identifié Plasmodium (47,8 %), Haemoproteus (15,8%) et Aegyptionella (2,6%).

Anchau avait une prévalence de Plasmodium de 31,7 %. L’étude conclut que l’infection croisée par des parasites sanguins peut se produire à l’interface oiseaux sauvages - volailles, et les marchés d’oiseaux sauvages vivants encouragent la transmission de parasites sanguins entre les pays. Il est nécessaire de mener d’autres études sur les parasites sanguins des oiseaux sauvages afin de comprendre leur impact sur la survie des espèces d’oiseaux sauvages au Nigeria.
