Prevalence of avian haemosporidia among injured wild birds in Tokyo and environs, Japan
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2017 Avian haemosporidia have been reported in various birds of Japan, which is part of the East Asian-Australian flyway and is an important stopover site for migratory birds potentially carrying new pathogens from other areas.

Do avian blood parasites influence hypoxia physiology in a high elevation environment?
BMC Ecology, 2018 Background Montane birds which engage in elevational movements have evolved to cope with fluctuations in environmental hypoxia, through changes in physiological parameters associated with blood oxygen-carrying capacity such as haemoglobin concentration ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.We conducted a community‐scale field study to evaluate whether trace element contaminants derived from coal combustion residuals and nuclear fission products alter the dynamics of haemosporidian blood parasites, dipteran vectors, and avian hosts in riparian and wetland habitats in South Carolina, USA.

Molecular Prevalence and Haematological Assessments of Avian Malaria in Wild Raptors of Thailand
BirdsRaptors (Accipitriformes, Falconiformes and Strigiformes) are important for ecological niches as bioindicators and an apex predator; however, their global populations have continuously decreased due to human activities, habitat loss and contagious ...

Evolution of Plastic Transmission Strategies in Avian Malaria
PLoS Pathogens, 2014 Malaria parasites have been shown to adjust their life history traits to changing environmental conditions. Parasite relapses and recrudescences--marked increases in blood parasite numbers following a period when the parasite was either absent or present at very low levels in the blood, respectively--are expected to be part of such adaptive plastic ...

Journal of Zoological and Botanical GardensAvian malaria has been a continuous problem in both wild and captive populations of penguins throughout the world. In Japan, where there are over 3000 captive penguins, avian malaria (by Plasmodium spp.) and haemoproteosis (by Haemoproteus spp.) have ...

Location and timing of infection drives a sex-bias in Haemoproteus prevalence in a hole-nesting bird
ParasitologySex biases in prevalence of disease are often attributed to intrinsic factors, such as physiological differences while a proximate role of extrinsic factors such as behavioural or ecological differences may be more difficult to establish.
