New experimental insights into the biology of avian malaria parasites [PDF]
Malaria JournalBackground Despite much research on avian malaria, the details of development of Plasmodium species in birds remain insufficiently investigated. This study aimed to gain new experimental information on avian malaria parasites regarding their host ...

Genomic advances in the study of the mosquito vector during avian malaria infection [PDF]
Parasitology, 2023 Invertebrate host–parasite associations are one of the keystones in order to understand vector-borne diseases. The study of these specific interactions provides information not only about how the vector is affected by the parasite at the gene-expression ...

The Pathology of Fatal Avian Malaria Due to Plasmodium elongatum (GRW6) and Plasmodium matutinum (LINN1) Infection in New Zealand Kiwi (Apteryx spp.) [PDF]
Animals, 2022 Avian malaria caused by Plasmodium species is a known cause of mortality in avifauna worldwide, however reports within New Zealand kiwi (Apteryx spp.) are scant.

A Literature Review on the Role of the Invasive Aedes albopictus in the Transmission of Avian Malaria Parasites [PDF]
AnimalsThe Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) is an invasive mosquito species with a global distribution. This species has populations established in most continents, being considered one of the 100 most dangerous invasive species.

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.

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]
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

Population structure of avian malaria parasites. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2019 AbstractThe geographic distribution of genetic diversity in malaria parasite populations (Apicomplexa: Haemosporida) presumably influences local patterns of virulence and the evolution of host‐resistance, but little is known about population genetic structure in these parasites. We assess the distribution of genetic diversity in the partial Domain I of

A Model For The Ecology Of Avian Malaria [PDF]
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1971 Although studies on Plasmodium infections of wild birds have been reported frequently in the literature, our knowledge of the ecology of these parasites remains incomplete. A synthesis of data and ideas from these field studies, and recent experimental work led to the construction of the following hypothetical model for the ecology of avian malaria ...
