Protozoários hemosporídeos podem causar infecções patogênicas, provocando óbito ou redução das aptidões físicas e reprodutivas dos hospedeiros. Vários estudos abordaram a infecção por hemosporídeos em comunidades de aves tropicais, mas poucos foram conduzidos em populações, relacionando a infeção com fatores biológicos das espécies. Para determinar a prevalência de hemosporídeos em uma população de Antilophia galeata e avaliar fatores que podem estar associados à parasitemia, foram analisadas extensões sanguíneas de 62 indivíduos provenientes de um fragmento florestal. Para cada indivíduo foi verificado: biomassa, comprimento dos tarsos, sexos, presença/ausência de placa de incubação, muda de penas e quantidade de carrapatos. No total, 33 (53,2%) estavam infectados por hemosporídeos, sendo 32 (51,6%) por Plasmodium spp. e um (1,61%) por Haemoproteus spp. A parasitemia não diferiu entre estações, sexos, e indivíduos com ou sem placa de incubação, muda de penas e carrapatos. A parasitemia não foi correlacionada à condição corporal, porém correlacionou positivamente com a contagem total de leucócitos, sugerindo que os indivíduos podem estar eficientes em controlar as infecções. Aparentemente a população é tolerante aos hemosporídeos, pois apesar da alta prevalência, a parasitemia foi baixa e constante, caracterizando-se em uma infecção possivelmente crônica que não mostrou efeitos negativos nos parâmetros analisados.
