Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 2013 We investigated for the first time the prevalence of avian haemosporidia of genera Plasmodium, Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon among birds and mosquitoes on Tsushima Island of Japan, which is located between Japan and the Korean Peninsula. Of 55 wild birds belonging to 33 species, 16 (29.1%) tested positive for haemosporidia as follows: Plasmodium spp. (

Prevalence and Diversity of Haemosporidian-Associated Matryoshka RNA Viruses in a Natural Population of Wild Birds. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study investigated the prevalence and diversity of Matryoshka RNA viruses (MaRNAV) in wild birds in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. Using RNA sequencing and RT‐PCR, we identified two novel MaRNAVs (MaRNAV‐5 and ‐6) associated with haemosporidian infections in passerines and raptors. These findings suggest a high prevalence of these viruses,

Malaria Journal, 2019 Background Avian haemosporidia are obligate blood parasites with an ample range of hosts worldwide. To understand how host communities may influence the diversity of parasites of the neotropics, the spatial genetic variation of avian Plasmodium ...

Complex interactions between bacteria and haemosporidia in coinfected hosts: An experiment
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Hosts are typically coinfected by multiple parasite species whose interactions might be synergetic or antagonistic, producing unpredictable physiological and pathological impacts on the host. This study shows the interaction between Plasmodium spp.

Reduced Offspring Viability Is Associated With Long-Term Stability of a Narrow Avian Hybrid Zone. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe investigated hybrid viability in a tropical, avian hybrid zone governed by strong selection on male secondary sexual traits between the white‐collared manakin (Manacus candei) and golden‐collared manakin (M. vitellinus). We assessed putative hybrid fitness by investigating adult survival and hatching success along with a prospective selective ...

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2020 Island bird populations and their obligate blood parasites are of interest for understanding the accumulation of biodiversity and the evolutionary relationship with their mainland congeners. We examined avian Haemosporidia cytochrome b gene among terrestrial birds on Gorgona Island National Park, Colombia.

Avian Haemosporidia of the Caucasus Mountains: Host-Parasite Dynamics in a Biodiversity Hotspot
Avian haemosporidia are globally distributed blood parasites, yet their host-parasite dynamics are often shaped by regional ecological and evolutionary processes.

Hurdle in taxonomy: A case of malaria parasites and other Haemosporidia
Open Veterinary Science, 2021 A crucial progress in taxonomy matches with the growth of various branches of biological sciences. This validates the taxonomic positions of many organisms.

Does haemosporidian infection affect hematological and biochemical profiles of the endangered Black-fronted piping-guan (Aburria jacutinga)? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2013 Infectious diseases can cause deleterious effects on bird species, leading to population decline and extinction. Haemosporidia can be recognized by their negative effects on host fitness, including reproductive success and immune responses. In captivity,
