Colombia es un país megadiverso, el cual posee una gran variedad de fauna de vida silvestre, entre ellos los reptiles, un grupo representativo con cerca de 600 especies, de las cuales 98 se encuentran clasificadas en diversas categorías de amenaza. No obstante, existen pocos estudios que permitan conocer la presencia y distribución de hemoparásitos en la herpetofauna. Los individuos analizados en este estudio fueron capturados en localidades entre 200 y 500 m.s.n.m ubicados en el departamento de Guaviare-Colombia. Se encontraron cuatro morfotipos del género Plasmodium, de los cuales, dos se redescriben utilizando datos morfológicos, morfométricos y secuencias del citocromo b (cyt b), lo cual permitió asociar por primera vez un linaje molecular a P. kentropyxi y a P. carmelinoi. Para los otros dos morfotipos no fue posible asignar una especie. Con estos resultados, se amplía el rango geográfico de distribución y de hospederos de dichos parásitos, lo cual demuestra que los estudios sobre la herpetofauna tropical y sus hemoparásitos merecen atención, considerando que son un grupo taxonómico relevante en los estudios de biodiversidad.

With biological collections it is possible to know biodiversity, to understand the ecological and evolutionary processes that may exist in natural ecosystems because they may give us information about hosts, evolution and trophic relationships. Advances in molecular biology have promoted the haemoparasites trace and the number of lineages reported from them. However, classical morphological determination remains as gold standard for diagnosis, because it provides information about parasite morphology, co-infections, several haematological parameters and discarding abortive infections. The biological collection GERPH: Grupo de Estudio Relación Parásito-Hospedero. http://ciencias.bogota.unal.edu.co/gruposdeinvestigacion/gerph/biological-collectiongerph/, represents the first collection of wildlife haemoparasites in Colombia and one of the few in Latin-America that are functional. This collection has blood smears from 3880 birds of 350 species, captured in several ecosystems such as Paramo, Andean forest, gallery forest, savannah, wetlands, swamp and urban environments. Furthermore, some birds have been sampled in captivity in zoos and rescue units; also the collection has samples from both migratory and resident birds. There are deposited 5 hapantotypes from: Haemoproteus erythrogravidus, Haemoproteus macrovacuolatus, Leucocytozoon pterotenuis, Leucocytozoon quynzae, Plasmodium unalis. Additionally, GERPH collection has representative material of: Babesia, Haemoproteus, Hepatozoon, Leucocytozoon, Plasmodium, Trypanosoma; and microfilaries. This collection also has (in minor numbers) blood smears from: amphibians, reptiles, and mammals. We designed a gallery with selected parasite found in our country, where each one shows data about main parasite taxonomic characters, type of sample deposited, parasite distribution, host/s, and references. Information about parasites deposited in our collection, has been uploaded in databases such us in Genbank, MalAvi and Bold, and currently the collection is implementing the inclusion in the national database SiB (Sistema de Información sobre Biodiversidad), which automatically migrates the information to GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility), promoting the share of biodiversity information freely

Haemoproteus, Leucocytozoon y Plasmodium son parásitos protozoarios con interés epidemiológico y médico con una distribución global, capaces de infectar reptiles, aves y mamíferos. Las coinfecciones, es decir, la coexistencia de dos o más especies parasitarias dentro de un mismo hospedero, con frecuencia son asociadas a una mayor virulencia y reducción del fitness del hospedero, siendo comunes en organismos de vida silvestre con valores que oscilan entre el 6 al 80%. El diagnóstico de las coinfecciones tradicionalmente se ha realizado mediante extendidos de sangre periférica coloreados con Giemsa, lo que permite la observación de las características morfométricas y morfológicas de los parásitos. El advenimiento de las técnicas moleculares ha traído una serie de avances a este campo, ya que permite una identificación más exacta de los parásitos. No obstante, en la actualidad no existe una metodología molecular estándar para la detección individual de los parásitos presentes en una coinfección. El presente proyecto busco abordar esta problemática por medio del diseño de primers género-especifico, a partir de las secuencias de genomas mitocondriales disponibles en las bases de datos públicas y las obtenidas por 68 investigadores del Institute for Genomics and Evolutionary Medicine (iGEM) de la Universidad Temple-Estados Unidos, y además, la estandarización de protocolos de PCR para la detección molecular de los parásitos, analizando muestras diagnosticadas por microscopía como positivas para coinfección depositadas en la colección biológica GERPH de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia. El trabajo tuvo como finalidad proporcionar herramientas a los investigadores interesados en este campo, que les permita en próximos estudios el diagnóstico molecular de coinfecciones de manera rápida, económica y efectiva.

In order to characterize the transmission cycles of Leucocytozoon in Colombian highlands, There were examined 505 birds, of which Opisthoprora euryptera, Margarornis squamiger, Mecocerculus leucophrys, Turdus fuscater, Turdus serranus, Buthraupis montana, Diglossa cyannea, Dubusia taeniata, Hemispingus verticalis, Iridosornis rufivertex, Atlapetes pallidinucha, Buarremon brunneinucha, Catamenia innornata, Phrygillus unicolor, Grallaria quitensis and Zonotrichia capensis were found infected with Leucocytozoon. The gametoctyes found in blood smears were similar to L. dubreuili, L fringillinaruColecciónm, L. maccluri and L. majoris.
