The Complete Genome Sequences of 87 Species of Hawks (Accipitriformes, Aves). [PDF]

Biodivers Genomes, 2023
We present the complete genome sequences of 87 species of hawks from 39 genera. Illumina sequencing was performed on genetic material from single individuals. The reads were assembled using a de novo method followed by a finishing step. The raw and assembled data are publicly available via Genbank.

First assessment of the prevalence of haemosporidian infections in Accipitriformes raptors in Greece. [PDF]

Parasitol Res
Abstract Haemosporidians, a group of vector-borne parasites that parasitize the blood cells and internal organs of various animal species, are reported to cause severe pathology in raptors. Species belonging to the genera Plasmodium, Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon are the ones of greatest wildlife importance.

A Geospatial Perspective Toward the Role of Wild Bird Migrations and Global Poultry Trade in the Spread of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N1. [PDF]

Geohealth
Abstract This study presents the interplay between wild bird migrations and global poultry trade in the unprecedented spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza, particularly the H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b strain, across the world and diverse ecosystems from 2020 to 2023.

A reference genome for the Harpy Eagle reveals steady demographic decline and chromosomal rearrangements in the origin of Accipitriformes. [PDF]

Sci Rep
The Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja) is an iconic species that inhabits forested landscapes in Neotropical regions, with decreasing population trends mainly due to habitat loss, and currently classified as vulnerable. Here, we report on a chromosome-scale genome assembly for a female individual combining long reads, optical mapping, and chromatin ...

Avian haemosporidian parasites of accipitriform raptors [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2022
Abstract Background The order Accipitriformes comprises the largest group of birds of prey with 260 species in four families. So far, 21 haemosporidian parasite species have been described from or reported to occur in accipitriform birds.

Leucocytozoon spp. infection in Accipitriformes birds in Iran [PDF]

Journal of Parasitic Diseases, 2016
Leucocytozoon spp. (Haemosporida, Leucocytozoidae) are vector-borne parasites of various birds. Leucocytozoon can infect different reticuloendothelial tissues and blood cells of birds. In this study peripheral blood samples were collected from Accipitriformes birds [three marsh harriers (Circus aeruginosus) and one tawny eagle (Aquila rapax)] in one ...

Parasites of Psittaciformes and Accipitriformes in Paraíba state, northeastern Brazil [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2013
In this study, we investigated the presence of gastrointestinal helminths in 97 captive birds (Psittaciformes and Accipitriformes) necropsied between June and December 2011 in the state of Paraiba, Brazil. Forty-three birds were infected. Psittaciformes were infected by nematode Ascaridia hermaphrodita (97.6%) and cestodeRaillietina sp. (2.4%).

The wing phalanges (Phalanx proximalis digiti majoris) of European Accipitriformes and Falconiformes [PDF]

Ornis Hungarica, 2021
Abstract The authors compared the first phalanx of the second wing finger of 33 European diurnal raptors. The importance of studying this bone lies in the fact that, although it has diagnosable characteristics, it was practically neglected by osteologists and paleontologists. Thus, fossil materials can be identified through them, as well
