Securing the Wind? Governing Atmospheric Life Above Aotearoa New Zealand
New Zealand Geographer, Volume 82, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT Birds, dust and smoke are all periodic windborne visitors to Aotearoa New Zealand. These visitors are, however, only the most visible tip of a churning atmosphere teeming with life. Drawing on work examining the assemblage of volumetric territoriality, this paper explores the framing of the atmosphere in biosecurity world‐making.

Effect of Boric Acid on Avian Malaria
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1946 The recent paper by Hardcastle and Foster1 reporting encouraging results with the use of borax in the control of cecal coccidiosis in poultry suggested the possibility that boron derivatives might be effective as chemother-apeutic agents in certain types of avian malaria.Trophozoite-indueed Plasmodium gallin-aceum infections were established in S.C ...

Prevalence of avian haemosporidia among injured wild birds in Tokyo and environs, Japan
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.

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Urbanization can modify species interactions, including those between parasites and their hosts. In birds, urbanization can either increase or decrease avian malaria (haemosporidian) infection, depending on host species, parasite, or study location. However, temporal coordination between parasites and hosts, which may impact infection outcomes,

Do avian blood parasites influence hypoxia physiology in a high elevation environment?
BMC Ecology, 2018 Background Montane birds which engage in elevational movements have evolved to cope with fluctuations in environmental hypoxia, through changes in physiological parameters associated with blood oxygen-carrying capacity such as haemoglobin concentration ...

Testing Local Adaptation in a Natural Great Tit-Malaria System: An Experimental Approach. [PDF]
, 2015 Finding out whether Plasmodium spp. are coevolving with their vertebrate hosts is of both theoretical and applied interest and can influence our understanding of the effects and dynamics of malaria infection. In this study, we tested for local adaptation

Ferrets exclusively synthesize Neu5Ac and express naturally humanized influenza A virus receptors [PDF]
, 2014 Mammals express the sialic acids N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) on cell surfaces, where they act as receptors for pathogens, including influenza A virus (IAV). Neu5Gc is synthesized from Neu5Ac by the enzyme
