Vector species-specific association between natural Wolbachia infections and avian malaria in black fly populations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Thanks to the Institute of Biodiversity Animal Health and Comparative Medicine (University of Glasgow) for funding vector traps.Artificial infection of mosquitoes with the endosymbiont bacteria Wolbachia can interfere with malaria parasite development ...

Modeling species co‐occurrence effects to inform invasive barred owl management and recovery of the northern spotted owl

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract Robust estimation of wildlife populations represents a cornerstone of wildlife research and provides critical information to guide management, including identifying at‐risk species, setting harvest rates, and evaluating predator and invasive species control programs.

Chemotherapy and avian malaria

open access: yesParasitology, 1942
Malaria is endemic over a wide area of the earth's surface. Although popularly associated with tropical or subtropical countries, it occurs as far north as the south of Sweden and Lake Ladoga in Russia and as far south as Bechuanaland, Swaziland and Natal in South Africa and the Argentine in South America. Though most frequent in low-lying districts it

Intellectual Property Management Strategies to Accelerate the Development and Access of Vaccines and Diagnostics: Case Studies on Pandemic Influenza, Malaria and SARS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Achieving global access to vaccines, diagnostics, and pharmaceuticals remains a challenge. Throughout the developing world, intellectual property (IP) constraints complicate access to critically essential medical technologies and products.

Plasmodium vivax-like genome sequences shed new insights into Plasmodium vivax biology and evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Although Plasmodium vivax is responsible for the majority of malaria infections outside Africa, little is known about its evolution and pathway to humans. Its closest genetic relative, P.

Clashing in Murky Waters: On Amphibian Mosquito Suppression

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study compares the predator efficiency of common European amphibian species to common invertebrate mosquito predators. Focusing on the cosmopolitan mosquito Culex pipiens, known for transmitting pathogens like West Nile virus, we assessed predator rates, sex‐specific efficiency in amphibians, and the impact of predator presence on mosquito ...

The influence of season, photoperiod, and pineal melatonin on immune function. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
In addition to the well-documented seasonal cycles of mating and birth, there are also significant seasonal cycles of illness and death among many animal populations.

Differential Susceptibility May Not Drive Chytridiomycosis Related Declines in Multi‐Host Amphibian Communities

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We investigated how Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) affects multi‐host amphibian communities in Tasmania, Australia. Despite differential susceptibility, we found no evidence of population declines in susceptible species, suggesting that current environmental conditions may buffer communities against Bd impacts.

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

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesParasites & 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.
