Keys to the avian malaria parasites [PDF]
Malaria Journal, 2018 Background Malaria parasites (genus Plasmodium) are widespread in birds. These pathogens cause pathology of blood and various organs, often resulting in severe avian malaria. Numerous recent studies have reported DNA sequences of avian malaria parasites,

Plasmodium matutinum Transmitted by Culex pipiens as a Cause of Avian Malaria in Captive African Penguins (Spheniscus demersus) in Italy. [PDF]
Front Vet Sci, 2021 Avian malaria is a parasitic disease of birds caused by protozoa belonging to the genus Plasmodium, within the order Haemosporida. Penguins are considered particularly susceptible, and outbreaks in captive populations can lead to high mortality.

Exploring the Ecological Implications of Microbiota Diversity in Birds: Natural Barriers Against Avian Malaria. [PDF]
Front Immunol, 2022 Natural antibodies (Abs), produced in response to bacterial gut microbiota, drive resistance to infection in vertebrates. In natural systems, gut microbiota diversity is expected to shape the spectrum of natural Abs and resistance to parasites.

Global phylogeographic limits of Hawaii's avian malaria [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2006 The introduction of avian malaria ( Plasmodium relictum ) to Hawaii has provided a model system for studying the influence of exotic disease on naive host populations. Little is known, however, about the origin or the genetic variation of Hawaii's malaria and traditional classification methods have confounded ...

Ecology and conservation biology of avian malaria [PDF]
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2012 Avian malaria is a worldwide mosquito‐borne disease caused byPlasmodiumparasites. These parasites occur in many avian species but primarily affect passerine birds that have not evolved with the parasite. Host pathogenicity, fitness, and population impacts are poorly understood.

Classification for avian malaria parasite Plasmodium gallinaceum blood stages by using deep convolutional neural networks. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2021 The infection of an avian malaria parasite (Plasmodium gallinaceum) in domestic chickens presents a major threat to the poultry industry because it causes economic loss in both the quality and quantity of meat and egg production. Computer-aided diagnosis

Bird community effects on avian malaria infections. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2023 Abstract In community assembly processes, interspecific interactions play an important role in shaping community diversity, especially at the local scale. Changes in species richness or abundance can modify local infectious disease dynamics, either reducing or increasing the risk of transmission within the ...

Avian malaria is absent in juvenile colonial herons (Ardeidae) but not Culex pipiens mosquitoes in the Camargue, Southern France [PDF]
, 2015 Apicomplexan blood parasites Plasmodium and Haemoproteus (together termed “Avian malaria”) and Leucocytozoon are widespread, diverse vector-transmitted blood parasites of birds, and conditions associated with colonial nesting in herons (Ardeidae) and ...
