Contrasting the seasonal and elevational prevalence of generalist avian haemosporidia in co‐occurring host species [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Understanding the ecology and evolution of parasites is contingent on identifying the selection pressures they face across their infection landscape. Such a task is made challenging by the fact that these pressures will likely vary across time and space,

First records of prevalence and diversity of avian haemosporidia in snipe species (genus Gallinago) of Japan [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2021 Migratory birds are important carriers of pathogens such as viruses, bacteria and protozoa. Avian haemosporidia have been detected from many wild birds of Japan, but the infection status of migratory birds and transmission area are still largely unknown.

Occurrence and diversity of avian haemosporidia in Afrotropical landbirds [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2019 Avian haemosporidian infections are widespread and can result in the decline of wild bird populations or in some cases contribute to extinction of species.

Prevalence of avian haemosporidia among injured wild birds in Tokyo and environs, Japan [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2017 Avian haemosporidia have been reported in various birds of Japan, which is part of the East Asian-Australian flyway and is an important stopover site for migratory birds potentially carrying new pathogens from other areas.

Host specificity and co-speciation in avian haemosporidia in the Western Cape, South Africa. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Host and pathogen ecology are often closely linked, with evolutionary processes often leading to the development of host specificity traits in some pathogens.

Parasite detection and quantification in avian blood is dependent on storage medium and duration [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Studies of parasites in wild animal populations often rely on molecular methods to both detect and quantify infections. However, method accuracy is likely to be influenced by the sampling approach taken prior to nucleic acid extraction.

Prevalence and Transmission Cycle of Avian Pathogens in the Isolated Oceanic Islands of Japan [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionAvian haemosporidian parasites and avian pox virus (APV) are well‐known pathogens for their impact on avian populations, especially in oceanic islands where introduced pathogens show strong virulence for endemic and naïve birds.

A widespread survey of avian haemosporidia in deceased wild birds of Japan: the hidden value of personally collected samples. [PDF]
J Vet Med Sci, 2022 Widespread surveys of avian haemosporidia (Plasmodium, Haemoproteus, and Leucocytozoon) in wild birds have substantially advanced information on the haemosporidian fauna of Japan. However, many areas and bird species remain insufficiently investigated. Bird carcasses collected for personal specimen collection seldom reach academic audience particularly
