Abstract

•An Egyptian Goose (Alopochen aegyptiacus) died in São Paulo Zoo, Brazil.•Plasmodium (Novyella) nucleophilum was identified, using microscopy and PCR.•The first assignment of the cytb gene sequence to P. nucleophilum is reported.•Phylogenetic position of P. nucleophilum was determined.•This sequence will assist in barcoding of this Plasmodium species in other birds.
