ABSTRACT
Magellanic penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) routinely migrate from their breeding colonies to Southern Brazil often contracting diseases during this migration, notably avian malaria, which has been already reported in Brazil and throughout the world. Detection of Plasmodium spp. in blood smears is the routine diagnostic method of avian malaria, however it has a low sensitivity rate when compared to molecular methods...
RESUMO
O pinguim-de-Magalhães (Spheniscus magellanicus) migra das suas colônias reprodutivas até o extremo sul do Brasil. Esses pinguins frequentemente são acometidos por doenças, notavelmente a malária aviária, que é relatada no Brasil e no mundo. A detecção de Plasmodium spp. no esfregaço sanguíneo é o método de rotina mas apresenta baixa sensibilidade quando comparado aos métodos moleculares...
