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.

Avian disease surveillance on the island of San Cristóbal, Galápagos
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Endemic island species face unprecedented threats, with many populations in decline or at risk of extinction. One important threat is the introduction of novel and potentially devastating diseases, made more pressing due to accelerating global ...

Avian haemosporidian parasites in captive and free-ranging, wild birds from zoological institutions in Switzerland: Molecular characterization and clinical importance [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2023 Avian haemosporidian parasites are widespread and infect birds from a broad variety of avian families with diverse consequences ranging from subclinical infections to severe and fatal disease. This study aimed to determine the occurrence and diversity of

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

New host and lineage diversity of avian haemosporidia in the northern Andes. [PDF]
Evol Appl, 2014 AbstractThe northern Andes, with their steep elevational and climate gradients, are home to an exceptional diversity of flora and fauna, particularly rich in avian species that have adapted to divergent ecological conditions. With this diversity comes the opportunity for parasites to exploit a wide breadth of avian hosts.

Detection of avian haemosporidia from captive musophagid birds at a zoological garden in Japan. [PDF]
J Vet Med Sci, 2019 One captive musophagid bird at a zoological garden in Japan showed clinical symptoms and was found to be infected with avian haemosporidia. We subsequently collected blood from all musophagid birds kept in the garden and examined for avian haemosporidia using both microscopic and molecular examination. Only Haemoproteus gametocytes were observed in the
