The subgenus\n                    <jats:italic>Novyella<\/jats:italic>\n                    comprises 22 morphologically identified species, of which 59% are genetically associated with at least one haplotype. In the Americas, only three morphospecies have their microscopic characteristics linked to a molecular signature. In this study, we described a new species of\n                    <jats:italic>Plasmodium<\/jats:italic>\n                    (\n                    <jats:italic>Novyella<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) infecting a white\u2010shouldered fire\u2010eye (\n                    <jats:italic>Pyriglena leucoptera<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) in Brazil. Molecular analysis reveals that the new species, associated with the lineage PYLEU01, is closely genetically related to\n                    <jats:italic>Plasmodium<\/jats:italic>\n                    (\n                    <jats:italic>Novyella<\/jats:italic>\n                    )\n                    <jats:italic>homopolare<\/jats:italic>\n                    , exhibiting a genetic divergence of 4.18%. However, it differs from\n                    <jats:italic>P. homopolare<\/jats:italic>\n                    due to the presence of many mature amoeboid trophozoites and some young meronts located laterally in relation to the erythrocyte nuclei and the smaller average number of merozoites in mature erythrocytic meronts. Morphology of blood stages of new species is most similar to\n                    <jats:italic>Plasmodium vaughani<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Plasmodium rouxi<\/jats:italic>\n                    , but is different from these parasites due to the presence of predominantly 4 merozoites in mature erythrocytic meronts (not characteristic of\n                    <jats:italic>P. vaughani<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) and the presence of 5\u20136 merozoites in some mature erythrocytic meronts (not characteristic of\n                    <jats:italic>P. rouxi<\/jats:italic>\n                    ). Our integrative analyses reveal that the newly described species represents a distinct\n                    <jats:italic>Plasmodium<\/jats:italic>\n                    parasite from other\n                    <jats:italic>Novyella<\/jats:italic>\n                    morphospecies.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/1749-4877.70002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,9]],"date-time":"2025-10-09T07:42:57Z","timestamp":1759995777000},"page":"192-202","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A New Species of\n                    <i>Plasmodium<\/i>\n                    of the Subgenus\n                    <i>Novyella<\/i>\n                    Infecting White\u2010Shouldered Fire\u2010Eyes (\n                    <i>Pyriglena leucoptera<\/i>\n                    ) (Aves: Thamnophilidae) in Brazil"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5704-4202","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luiz Gustavo Magalh\u00e3es","family":"Alves","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Parasitologia, Instituto de Ci\u00eancias Biol\u00f3gicas Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais  Belo Horizonte Minas Gerais Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pedro Henrique Oliveira","family":"Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Parasitologia, Instituto de Ci\u00eancias Biol\u00f3gicas Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais  Belo Horizonte Minas Gerais Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vit\u00f3ria Loiola","family":"Batista","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Parasitologia, Instituto de Ci\u00eancias Biol\u00f3gicas Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais  Belo Horizonte Minas Gerais Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Leonardo Esteves","family":"Lopes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laborat\u00f3rio de Ecologia e Ornitologia, Instituto de Ci\u00eancias Biol\u00f3gicas e da Sa\u00fade Universidade Federal de Vi\u00e7osa, Campus Florestal  Florestal Minas Gerais Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5550-7157","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u00c9rika Martins","family":"Braga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Parasitologia, Instituto de Ci\u00eancias Biol\u00f3gicas Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais  Belo Horizonte Minas Gerais Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1420-9101.2008.01613.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1139\/z72-172"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1755-0998.2009.02692.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.0014-3820.2004.tb01742.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijpara.2014.01.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.actatropica.2020.105364"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijpara.2021.01.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1098\/rsos.171780"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7589\/0090-3558-23.4.558"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.aaz6970"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1645\/GE-1051R1.1"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1645\/GE\u2010184R1"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","first-page":"274","article-title":"Plasmodium hexamerium, n. sp. from the Bluebird, Inoculable to Canaries","volume":"22","author":"Huff C.
