Exploring the Ecological Implications of Microbiota Diversity in Birds: Natural Barriers Against Avian Malaria [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 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.

Evolution of Resistance to Avian Malaria Infection in an Endemic Hawaiian Honeycreeper [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionMalaria parasites in the genus Plasmodium are ubiquitous infectious agents. Most avian species effectively manage infection and experience limited population effects, with a notable exception in the Hawaiian Islands.

Classification for avian malaria parasite Plasmodium gallinaceum blood stages by using deep convolutional neural networks [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 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

Single-Cell Transcriptomics and Development of Gametocyte-Specific Molecular Markers for Avian Malaria Parasites. [PDF]
Mol Ecol ResourABSTRACT Avian malaria, caused by Plasmodium parasites, poses a significant threat to bird populations worldwide, particularly in vulnerable island ecosystems. Yet, progress in understanding avian malaria transmission dynamics has been hampered by the lack of molecular tools to quantify and sex the transmissible stages of the parasite: the male and ...
