Parasite incidence in relation to the sex of the host indicated a higher infestation in females (62.79%) than males (57.65%). The overall highest infectivity of parasites was recorded during the summer season (82.85%) followed by spring season (59.37%) and least in the winter season (42.30%). It was also observed that <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Haemoproteus</em> occurred at diverse infectivity in <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">C. livia</em> from different localities (Badaun-51.35%, Bareilly- 11.18% and Shajahanpur-58.06%) whereas <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Plasmodium </em>was recorded 11.18% only from Bareilly.
