Gametocytes of the lineages hLARCRA01 (a–f, m–p), hLARCRA02 (g–l) and hNUMPHA01(q–t) of Haemoproteus larae from the blood of black-tailed gulls (Larus crassirostris) (a–l), mew gulls (Larus canus) (m–p) and whimbrels (Numenius phaeopus) (q–t). Young gametocytes (a, b, g, q), macrogametocytes (c, e, f, h, i, m–p, s, t) and microgametocytes (d, j–l, r). Key: arrows, gametocyte nuclei; arrowheads, pigment granules. Stained with Hemacolor®.
