A new method for isolation of purified genomic DNA from haemosporidian parasites inhabiting nucleated red blood cells

► Unique biology of haemosporidians provides approaching purified template for genomic studies. ► Separation of host and parasite DNA based on exflagellation avoids lyses of blood cells. ► Recommendation for De novo sequencing template preparation of avian and lizard haemosporidian parasites.
