Avian Malaria Deaths in Parrots, Europe
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011 To the Editor: Avian malaria is an insect-borne disease induced by a so far unknown number of protozoan blood parasites of the genera Plasmodium and Haemoproteus (hematozoa) (1,2). The unintentional introduction of P. relictum to the Hawaiian Islands, USA, has had fatal effects for the native bird fauna (3).

Culex quinquefasciatus: status as a threat to island avifauna and options for genetic control
CABI Agriculture and Bioscience, 2021 The avifauna endemic to islands is particularly susceptible to population declines and extinctions resulting from the introduction of non-native pathogens.

PLoS ONE, 2020 In the last decade, house sparrow populations have shown a general decline, especially in cities. Avian malaria has been recently suggested as one of the potential causes of this decline, and its detrimental effects could be exacerbated in urban habitats.

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 ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.In an experimental epidemiology setup, groups of pigeons were exposed to different numbers of infective malaria vectors. Vector number explained the speed of transmission, the final prevalence, and changes in host behavior. ABSTRACT Vector density plays a critical role in the transmission dynamics of vector‐borne diseases and thus in their health and ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Low overall haemosporidian occurrence (3.4%; 13/383). Unexpected high lineage diversity (10 new host–parasite interactions). Novel Leucocytozoon lineage (GYPBAR01) in all European vultures except the griffon vulture. Plasmodium relictum (lineage SGS1) in adult red kites.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Apicoplast genomic content and mitochondrial genomic content were found to be strongly correlated (rho = 0.93) for infections going from low to high. Apicoplast and mitochondrial genomic content were deemed as more predictive factors of parasitemia for different infection intensities.

Avian malaria in wild birds within a tropical dry forest area in Guatemala [PDF]
Neotropical Biology and ConservationUrbanization is widely recognized as a driver of increased pathogen transmission, primarily through landscape modification and heightened contact rates between hosts and vectors, which can elevate parasite prevalence and virulence.
