L: Avian malaria infections in western European mosquitoes
In 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.

Urbanization and Avian Malaria Infection in Passerine Birds of The Greater New York City Area
Urbanization has well-documented effects on the distribution and establishment of flora and fauna within urban environments. The effects of urbanization on parasites and the potential synergistic impacts of urbanization and parasites for the fauna ...

Transgenerational transmission of anti-α-Gal antibodies - avian malaria
In this perspective, we propose that natural antibodies (Abs) to the carbohydrate α-Gal expressed in gut microbiota can induce transgenerational immunity and protect birds against mosquito-borne avian malaria. Our preliminary data shows that bacterial α1,

Avian malaria on Oahu: disease ecology, population genetics, and the evolution of resistance in Oahu amakihi [PDF]
Introduced avian malaria is considered one of the greatest threats to the survival of the endemic Hawaiian honeycreepers. This study investigated avian malaria in Oahu forest bird communities, and modeled quantifiable variables to determine what factors ...

Avian malaria in the montane tropics
Understanding the unequal distribution of life on earth is a fundamental goal of ecology and evolutionary biology. Past efforts to explain large-scale patterns in diversity have tended to focus on two broad classes of explanation, one invoking the importance of abiotic factors (i.e. climate and vegetation) and the other biotic (i.e.

Avian malaria prevalence in Blackcaps along a Central European migratory divide
Avian migration is one of the biggest mysteries in science. Every year, small birds migrate hundreds of kilometers to their wintering ground in autumn and in spring they migrate back to their breeding ground.
