Experimental Research on Avian Malaria
1963Publisher Summary This chapter reviews recent advances made in the study of bird malaria. The area of research activities included the relationship between the sporozoite and the exoerythrocytic stage, the use of the chick embryo as a host, in vitro cultivation of both endogenous and exogenous stages, the physiology of erythrocytic stages, immunology,

Serum Alterations in Avian Malaria*
The Journal of Protozoology, 1960SYNOPSIS.A study by means of paper electrophoresis of the scrum.proteins and lipoproteins during the course of infection of chicks with Plasmodium lophurae, reveals a qualitative change in the gamma‐globulin and demonstrates: a significant crisis period depression of the albumin; no alteration of the alpha‐globulin or alpha‐lipoprotein; a significant ...

Genomic Advances in Avian Malaria Research
Trends in Parasitology, 2019Haemosporidian parasites causing malaria-like diseases in birds are globally distributed and have been associated with reduced host fitness and mortality in susceptible bird species. This group of parasites has not only enabled a greater understanding of host specificity, virulence, and parasite dispersal, but has also been crucial in restructuring the

The Plasmodium lophurae (Avian Malaria) Ribosome*
The Journal of Protozoology, 1977SYNOPSIS. Ribosomes were isolated from Plasmodium lophurae by Triton X‐100 lysis and ultracentrifugation. Plasmodium lophurae ribosomal subparticles, produced by treatment of ribosomes with puromycin, were separated by sucrose gradient centrifugation. The nucleotide base composition of P.

Avian Malaria Parasites Share Congeneric Mosquito Vectors
Journal of Parasitology, 2010Assessing parasite specificity to vector is crucial to understanding the emergence of vector-borne diseases and the evolution of parasite diversity. Avian malaria parasites have a cosmopolitan distribution and broad avian host range, which together predict they are vector generalists, but little is known about parasite-vector associations in the wild ...

Engineering mosquito resistance to malaria parasites: the avian malaria model
Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2002Genetic approaches to controlling the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases are being developed to augment the available chemical control practices and environmental manipulation methods. Much progress has been made in laboratory-based research that seeks to develop antipathogen or antivector effector genes and methods for genetically manipulating ...

Recent Experimental Research on Avian Malaria
1968Publisher Summary This chapter supplements the more extensive earlier experimental research on avian malaria . Two symposia have been published on malaria since the earlier review. Although these reports included work on many phases of malaria, a considerable portion of them dealt with avian malaria.

Avian Malaria in African Black-Footed Penguins
Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1979SUMMARY Ten captive-reared African black-footed penguins (Spheniscus demersus) from a large outdoor colony were monitored for avian malaria, using several diagnostic tests. One treatment regimen was evaluated. Thin smear blood evaluation enabled detection of seven parasitemias involving Plasmodium relictum and Plasmodium elongatum in the penguins ...

Avian malaria infections in western European mosquitoes
Parasitology Research, 2012In the complex life cycle of avian malaria parasites (Plasmodium sp.), we still have a poor understanding on the vector-parasite relationships. This study described the community of potential avian malaria vectors in four Portuguese reedbeds. We tested if their geographical distribution differed, and investigated on their Plasmodium infections.

Avian Hosts for Malaria Research
The Quarterly Review of Biology, 1941E XPERIMENTS with avian malaria have contributed a great deal to our understanding of the life cycle of the human malaria parasite. In addition, the basic studies on chemotherapy of malaria have been carried out with birds, and have resulted in the discovery of the two best known synthetic drugs, plasmochin and atebrin.
