Searching for putative avian malaria vectors in a Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest in Brazil

Parasites & Vectors, 2016
Background Haemosporidian parasites of the genera Plasmodium and Haemoproteus can have detrimental effects on individual birds and populations. Despite recent investigations into the distribution and richness of these parasites and their vertebrate hosts,

Determinants of spring migration departure dates in a New World sparrow: Weather variables reign supreme

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2024.
To test for interactions among weather, migration distance, parasitism, and physiology in determining spring departure date, we used Dark‐eyed Juncos (Junco hyemalis) as a model migratory species known to harbor diverse and common haemosporidian parasites.

Duplication of a Type-P5B-ATPase in Laverania and Avian Malaria Parasites and Implications About the Evolution of Plasmodium

Parasitologia
Two related P-type ATPases, designated as ATPase1 and ATPase3, were identified in Plasmodium falciparum. These two ATPases exhibit very similar gene and protein structures and are most similar to P5B-ATPases.

From Africa to Europe: evidence of transmission of a tropical Plasmodium lineage in Spanish populations of house sparrows

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Avian malaria parasites are a highly diverse group that commonly infect birds and have deleterious effects on their hosts. Some parasite lineages are geographically widespread and infect many host species in many regions.

The avian lung-associated immune system [PDF]

, 2006
The lung is a major target organ for numerous viral and bacterial diseases of poultry. To control this constant threat birds have developed a highly organized lung-associated immune system.

Evidence for intercontinental parasite exchange through molecular detection and characterization of haematozoa in northern pintails (Anas acuta) sampled throughout the North Pacific Basin

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2015
Empirical evidence supports wild birds as playing a role in the interhemispheric exchange of bacteria and viruses; however, data supporting the redistribution of parasites among continents are limited.

Application of chicken microarrays for gene expression analysis in other avian species [PDF]

, 2009
With the threat of emerging infectious diseases such as avian influenza, whose natural hosts are thought to be a variety of wild water birds including duck, we are armed with very few genomic resources to investigate large scale immunological gene ...

Infections with Avian Pathogenic and Fecal Escherichia coli Strains Display Similar Lung Histopathology and Macrophage Apoptosis [PDF]

, 2012
The purpose of this study was to compare histopathological changes in the lungs of chickens infected with avian pathogenic (APEC) and avian fecal (Afecal) Escherichia coli strains, and to analyze how the interaction of the bacteria with avian ...

Multiple host-switching of Haemosporidia parasites in bats - art. no. 157

, 2007
Background: There have been reported cases of host- switching in avian and lizard species of Plasmodium (Apicomplexa, Haemosporidia), as well as in those infecting different primate species.
