What is another word for haemoproteidae?
Pronunciation: [hˈiːməpɹˌə͡ʊtɪdˌiː] (IPA) 
Haemoproteidae is a family of parasites that infect birds and reptiles. Synonyms for Haemoproteidae include the genera: Haemamoeba, Garnia, Parahaemoproteus, and Hepatocystis. These parasites are known for causing the disease hemoproteosis, which is characterized by the destruction of red blood cells in the host. Symptoms of hemoproteosis include anemia, weakness, and lethargy. Haemoproteidae parasites are transmitted by biting insects such as mosquitoes and ticks, making prevention challenging. Treatment typically involves antimalarial drugs, but they can be challenging to administer to wild animals. Ongoing research is necessary to help us better understand Haemoproteidae parasites and develop more effective prevention and treatment strategies.
