Haemoproteus spp. (Protozoa: Haemoproteidae) and a New Species of Acanthocephala, Pseudolueheia tongsoni from the Philippine Scops-owl, Otus megalotis megalotis (Walden, 1875) (Aves: Strigiformes)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Two species of Haemoproteus, H. noctuae Celli & Sanfelice, 1891 and H. syrnii (Mayer & Keysselitz, 1909) Bishop & Bennett, 1989 and a new species of Acanthocephala, Pseudolueheia tongsoni are reported from the Philippine scops-owl, Otus megalotis megalotis (Walden, 1875). The gametogonic stages of H. noctuae and H. syrnii were demonstrated from the peripheral blood of live birds through examination of stained blood smears (hema-quick stain set). Both species are recorded for the first time from this bird host constituting a new host record for the species and further the Philippines is a new locality record for the latter species. Both Haemoproteus are briefly described and illustrated by microphotographs based on the Philippine specimens including morphological changes in the infected red blood cells. Pseudolueheia tongsoni was recovered from the intestine at necropsy, processed and stained in aceto-alumcarmine, cleared in terpineol and mounted in Canada balsam for microscopic examination. It is described and illustrated by drawings and photomicrographs. It is characterized by the proboscis armed with 27-28 longitudinal rows of 10-11 hooks, the cement glands emanating at a distance from the posterior testis and not close to it and absence of anterior manubrium of the small hooks of the proboscis, a relatively muscular male bursa with rays and an irregular outline of the posterior end in the female. It is differentiated from the closely related species of the genus Pseudolueheia Schmidt and Kuntz, 1967. The possible effects of these parasites on the host are discussed. Key words: Acanthocephala, Haemoproteus noctuae, Haemoproteus syrnii, Otus megalotis megalotis, Philippine scops-owl, Pseudolueheia tongsoni
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
