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

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.

Investigating Endoparasites in Captive Birds of Prey in Italy [PDF]
AnimalsBirds of prey can be parasitised by several endoparasites that can coexist without clinical signs of disease or occur in conjunction with stressful events. Because the number of birds of prey kept in captivity is copiously increasing due to their use for

Investigations of the tick burden on passeriform, water-associated and predatory birds reveal new tick–host associations and habitat-related factors of tick infestation [PDF]
Parasites & VectorsBackground Previous studies on the tick infestation of birds in the Carpathian Basin focused on songbirds (Passeriformes). Thus, the primary aim of the present work was to extend the scope of previous studies, i.e.
