Does the niche breadth or trade‐off hypothesis explain the abundance–occupancy relationship in avian Haemosporidia?

Molecular Ecology, 2014
AbstractTwo hypotheses have been proposed to explain the abundance–occupancy relationship (AOR) in parasites. The niche breadth hypothesis suggests that host generalists are more abundant and efficient at colonizing different host communities than specialists. The trade‐off hypothesis argues that host specialists achieve high density across their hosts'

The Strait of Gibraltar poses an effective barrier to host-specialised but not to host-generalised lineages of avian Haemosporidia

International Journal for Parasitology, 2015
One of the major concerns with ongoing environmental global change is the ability of parasites to shift their distribution (both geographically and across hosts) and to increase in virulence. To understand the structure, diversity and connectivity of parasite communities across the Mediterranean Sea, we used avian haemosporidian communities associated ...

Avian haemosporidia in native and invasive sparrows at an Afrotropical region

Parasitology Research, 2021
Bio-invasions are a major threat to biodiversity and ecosystems globally and may contribute to the proliferation of emerging infectious diseases. We examined the prevalence and phylogenetic diversity of avian haemosporidian parasites infecting the non-native house sparrows (Passer domesticus) and the native southern grey-headed sparrows (Passer ...

A Comparative Study of Gametocyte Ultrastructure in Avian Haemosporidia*

The Journal of Protozoology, 1973
SYNOPSISThe fine structure of gametocytes of 3 avian haemosporidian parasites Plasmodium gallinaceum, Haemoproteus columbae, and Leucocytozoon simondi has been studied and compared by electron microscopy. The gametocytes of all 3 species are bounded by a 3‐layered limiting membrane system, possess a cytostome during some portion of their residence ...

The First Detection of Avian Haemosporidia from Culicoides Biting Midges in Japan, with Notes on Potential Vector Species and the Transmission Cycle

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2022
Biting midges (Ceratopogonidae) are capable of transmitting a variety of pathogens including viruses, trypanosomes and haemosporidia. The majority of Haemoproteus parasites are transmitted by biting midges predominantly of the genus Culicoides and are known to cause significant physical and reproductive impacts on both wild and domestic birds. In Japan,

Spillover of avian haemosporidian parasites (Haemosporidia: Plasmodium) and death of captive psittacine species

Australian Veterinary Journal, 2018
Case reportDuring February 2014, a yellow‐tailed black cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus funereus) and glossy black cockatoo (C. lathami) housed in aviaries on a property in Wamuran, Queensland, were submitted for postmortem. Histopathology and molecular diagnostics demonstrated the presence of Plasmodium sp. infection.

PREVALENCE AND PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS OF AVIAN HAEMOSPORIDIA IN WILD BIRDS IN THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2018
Avian blood parasites, including Plasmodium spp. and Haemoproteus spp., are found worldwide but only limited information of their occurrence is available in the Republic of Korea (ROK). We determined the prevalence of Plasmodium and Haemoproteus and their phylogenetic characteristics in wild birds in ROK.

First molecular study of prevalence and diversity of avian haemosporidia in a Central California songbird community

Journal of Ornithology, 2015
We studied avian haemosporidian parasites of the genera Plasmodium, Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon in a riparian songbird community in Central California, USA, over a period of 2 years. We sequenced a well-characterized region of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene to identify the prevalence and diversity of these parasites from 399 birds. Of the 39.8 %
