Effects of avian malaria on male behaviour and female visitation in lekking blue-crowned manakins

open access: yes, 2015
Avian malaria, the infection by blood parasites of the genus Plasmodium, can reduce host fitness not only through mortality, but also by impairing the expression of sexual selection traits.

Culex quinquefasciatus: status as a threat to island avifauna and options for genetic control

open access: yesCABI 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.

High‐Grade B‐Cell Lymphoma With 11q Aberration in Africa: A Differential Diagnosis in Cases With Features of Endemic Burkitt Lymphoma

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fifty years ago, Zech et al. in this journal described for the first time the t(8;14) as a recurrent chromosomal aberration in Burkitt lymphoma (BL). Nevertheless, in regions where BL is not endemic, a subset of lymphomas with features of BL lacks the t(8;14)/IG::MYC and instead represents high‐grade B‐cell lymphoma with 11q aberration (HGBCL ...

Some remarks on the use of avian malaria parasites in research

open access: yes, 1973
The employment of avian plasmodia is emphasized for solving problems related to human malaria. Models of research with avian malaria parasites are reported, which can be applied to various studies of chemotherapeutics, pathology, immunology and biology ...

Avian malaria associations with British mosquitoes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Avian malaria (Plasmodium spp.) is a popular model system to study the ecology and evolution of parasite-host-vector interactions in the wild. These studies have historically focused mostly on the avian hosts and the malaria parasites.

Physiological and morphological correlates of blood parasite infection in urban and non-urban house sparrow populations.

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Effects of Vector Density on Blood Parasite Spread and Health Consequences for Avian Hosts: An Experimental Epidemiology Blueprint

open access: yesIntegrative 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 ...

Fostering real-time climate adaptation: Analyzing past, current, and forecast temperature to understand the dynamic risk to Hawaiian honeycreepers from avian malaria

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Various vector control options are increasingly being considered to safeguard forest birds in their natural habitats from avian malaria transmission.

Effect of Boric Acid on Avian Malaria

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1946
The recent paper by Hardcastle and Foster1 reporting encouraging results with the use of borax in the control of cecal coccidiosis in poultry suggested the possibility that boron derivatives might be effective as chemother-apeutic agents in certain types of avian malaria.Trophozoite-indueed Plasmodium gallin-aceum infections were established in S.C ...
