Parasite presence has been confirmed in all Ecuadorian regions, but some ecosystems, such as the deciduous dry forest of the Coastal region, have not been evaluated for parasite presence. Data on presence or absence, and prevalence, of haemosporidian blood parasites were obtained from avian blood samples collected in two different dry deciduous forests in Guayaquil, Ecuador: Bosque Protector Prosperina and \u00c1rea Nacional de Recreaci\u00f3n Parque Lago. Mist netting was performed between December 2018 and September 2019; blood smears were prepared from blood taken from 35 individuals of 20 bird species and all samples were analyzed by optical microscope observation. Most species showed no evidence of parasite infection, but haemosporidia were found on a blood smear obtained from a Black-capped Sparrow, Arremon abeillei (Passerelleidae), confirming this species as a newly discovered host of blood parasites.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.7589\/jwd-d-21-00200","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,30]],"date-time":"2022-11-30T07:29:01Z","timestamp":1669793341000},"page":"892-896","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["First Report of Blood Parasites in Black-Capped Sparrow (Arremon abeillei) from Neotropical Dry Deciduous Forest"],"prefix":"10.7589","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Peter","family":"Pibaque","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Escuela Superior Polit\u00e9cnica del Litoral, Facultad de Ciencias de la Vida, Laboratorio de Zoolog\u00eda, Km. 30.5 V\u00eda Perimetral, Guayaquil 090903, Ecuador"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paolo","family":"Piedrahita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Escuela Superior Polit\u00e9cnica del Litoral, Facultad de Ciencias de la Vida, Laboratorio de Zoolog\u00eda, Km. 30.5 V\u00eda Perimetral, Guayaquil 090903, Ecuador"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"4415","reference":[{"key":"1","unstructured":"Z Aguirre, LP Kvist, O S\u00e1nchez,  \"Bot\u00e1nica econ\u00f3mica de los Andes centrales.\"  \"Bosques secos en Ecuador y su diversidad.\" 162 (2006)"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"C.
