Transcriptional response of individual Hawaiian Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes to the avian malaria parasite Plasmodium relictum. [PDF]

Malar J, 2022
Background: Plasmodium parasites that cause bird malaria occur in all continents except Antarctica and are primarily transmitted by mosquitoes in the genus Culex. Culex quinquefasciatus, the mosquito vector of avian malaria in HawaiModified Letter Turned

Single-Cell Transcriptomics and Development of Gametocyte-Specific Molecular Markers for Avian Malaria Parasites. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT 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 ...

High prevalence of Plasmodium infection in fighting cocks in Thailand determined with a molecular method

Journal of Veterinary Research, 2022
Avian malaria caused by Plasmodium and the malaria-like parasites of the genus Haemoproteus has been regularly described in multiple regions worldwide. These parasites significantly affect many avian taxa, including domestic chickens and fighting cocks ...

Plasmodium matutinum Transmitted by Culex pipiens as a Cause of Avian Malaria in Captive African Penguins (Spheniscus demersus) in Italy

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 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.

Modeling future conservation of Hawaiian honeycreepers by mosquito management and translocation of disease-tolerant Amakihi. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Avian malaria is an important cause of the decline of endemic Hawaiian honeycreepers. Because of the complexity of this disease system we used a computer model of avian malaria in forest birds to evaluate how two proposed conservation strategies: 1 ...

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 ...

PASSIVE IMMUNITY IN AVIAN MALARIA [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1940
The effect of therapy with immune serum has been studied in thirty-two cases of Plasmodium circumflexum infection, all of them produced by blood inoculation. Eighteen of these cases never showed parasites, and seven others developed infections which were definitely milder than those of the controls.

Exo-erythrocytic development of Plasmodium matutinum (lineage pLINN1) in a naturally infected roadkill fieldfare Turdus pilaris

Malaria Journal, 2022
Background Species of Plasmodium (Haemosporida, Plasmodiidae) are remarkably diverse haemoparasites. Information on genetic diversity of avian malaria pathogens has been accumulating rapidly, however exo-erythrocytic development of these organisms ...

MHC-I affects infection intensity but not infection status with a frequent avian malaria parasite in blue tits. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Host resistance against parasites depends on three aspects: the ability to prevent, control and clear infections. In vertebrates the immune system consists of innate and adaptive immunity.
