Prevalence and Genetic Diversity of Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon in Raptors and Other Captive Birds at the National Zoological Garden in South Africa

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 203-213, January 2026.
Captive birds at the National Zoological Garden in South Africa harbor diverse haemosporidian parasite species and lineages. This might compromise conservation efforts of threatened species. ABSTRACT Avian haemosporidian infections have been associated with disease outbreaks in zoos and rehabilitation centers globally. This study aimed to determine the

Genomic and Clinicopathological Characterization of a Reassortant HPAI H5N1 (Clade 2.3.4.4b) in an Endangered Cinereous Vulture (Aegypius monachus) in South Korea, 2026

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Clade 2.3.4.4b highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs) continue to circulate widely in East Asia and undergo frequent reassortment in wild birds. Raptors are regarded as spillover hosts that may be exposed through predation or scavenging, yet integrated clinicopathologic and genomic investigations in cinereous vultures remain limited.

Farmland abandonment and season drive scavenging dynamics in livestock‐rewilded landscapes

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 8, December 2025.
Abstract Farmland abandonment occurs commonly across European mountain regions, which causes triggering of habitat encroachment through shrub regeneration and natural afforestation. However, its impact on vertebrate scavenger communities and ecological processes, such as the removal of small carcasses remains poorly understood.

Past research and future directions in understanding how birds use their sense of smell

open access: yesIbis, Volume 167, Issue 4, Page 853-881, October 2025.
Our understanding of the functional importance of olfaction to birds has improved over the past 60 years, largely as the result of experimental studies testing how birds use their sense of smell in different contexts. As it is impossible to measure directly which odours birds can detect, we rely on measuring behavioural responses to scent cues or ...
