Galactose‐α‐1,3‐galactose‐presenting bacterial families are associated with resistance to experimental avian malaria infection

Journal of Avian Biology
The gut microbiome can contribute to host health through defense against pathogens. However, links between the host gut microbiome and resistance to infection have been primarily investigated in humans and lab‐bred rodents, so we do not know to what ...

Dynamics of prevalence and diversity of avian malaria infections in wild Culex pipiens mosquitoes: the effects of Wolbachia, filarial nematodes and insecticide resistance

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background Identifying the parasites transmitted by a particular vector and the factors that render this vector susceptible to the parasite are key steps to understanding disease transmission.

Erythrocyte Membrane Protein 3 (EMAP3) Is Exposed on the Surface of the Plasmodium berghei Infected Red Blood Cell

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 125, Issue 3, Page 233-249, March 2026.
Erythrocyte membrane protein 3 (EMAP3) is a novel Plasmodium berghei protein that is trafficked to the outer membrane surface of the infected red blood cell (iRBC). EMAP3 is not critical for parasite growth or sequestration but offers a new scaffold for displaying Plasmodium falciparum proteins on iRBCs.

Identifying avian malaria vectors: sampling methods influence outcomes

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background The role of vectors in the transmission of avian malaria parasites is currently understudied. Many studies that investigate parasite-vector relationships use limited trapping techniques and/or identify potential competent vectors in the field ...

Phenology underlies inconsistent urbanization effects on avian malaria (Leucocytozoon sp.) in juvenile songbirds

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Urbanization can modify species interactions, including those between parasites and their hosts. In birds, urbanization can either increase or decrease avian malaria (haemosporidian) infection, depending on host species, parasite, or study location. However, temporal coordination between parasites and hosts, which may impact infection outcomes,

Analysis of hematologic and serum chemistry values of Spheniscus magellanicus with molecular detection of avian malarial parasites (Plasmodium spp.)

Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira, 2014
Magellanic penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) routinely migrate from their breeding colonies to Southern Brazil often contracting diseases during this migration, notably avian malaria, which has been already reported in Brazil and throughout the world ...

Across species: A comparative perspective on red cell homeostasis and its influence on our understanding of human physiology and disease

British Journal of Haematology, Volume 208, Issue 2, Page 446-458, February 2026.
This review highlights how studies on animal red cells have enriched our understanding of the behaviour of those from humans. A comparative perspective has enhanced our knowledge of human red cell pathophysiology Summary This review emphasises how studies on animal red cells have enriched our understanding of the behaviour of those from humans.

Duplication of a Type-P5B-ATPase in Laverania and Avian Malaria Parasites and Implications About the Evolution of Plasmodium

Parasitologia
Two related P-type ATPases, designated as ATPase1 and ATPase3, were identified in Plasmodium falciparum. These two ATPases exhibit very similar gene and protein structures and are most similar to P5B-ATPases.

Effect of Boric Acid on Avian Malaria

Experimental 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 ...

Getting ahead of the crises: Developing an avian malaria disease management plan for Hawaiian forest birds

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
Avian malaria poses a growing threat to native Hawaiian forest birds as climate change enables its spread into previously disease‐free areas like Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge. This study presents a proactive, tiered disease management plan to help land managers monitor and respond to malaria risk, offering a model for broader conservation ...
