Abstract

This report describes asymptomatic Haemoproteus infection in wild Eurasian eagle owls (Bubo bubo) diagnosed by blood smear and DNA analysis. This is the first description of natural Haemoproteus infection in wild Eurasian eagle owl in South Korea and suggests that the wild resident bird population can be a source for Haemoproteus infection of domestic poultry.

본 증례는 야생 수리부엉이에서 혈액도말과 유전자 분석으로 무증상의 헤모프로테우스 감염을 확인한 것이다. 이것은 대한민국의 야생 수리부엉이에서의 헤모프로테우스 감염을 처음 보고한 것으로 야생 텃새들이 가금의 헤모프로테우스 감염원이 될 수 있음을 제시한다.
