High parasitaemia of Plasmodium (Giovannolaia) homocircumflexum (cytochrome b lineage pCOLL4) in an experimentally infected European siskin Carduelis spinus. Numerous developing young parasites (simple arrowheads), two mature meronts (short arrows) and one mature macrogametocyte (long arrow) are shown, indicating complete life cycle in avian hosts. Giemsa stained blood film. Scale bar = 10 μm
