Using customs data to understand overlooked trade in non‐CITES birds between Africa and Asia

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract The international trade in live birds poses risks to animals, people, and biodiversity. To effectively mitigate these risks, decision‐makers require information on the volume, dynamics, and direction of trade. Despite Africa once being the largest exporter of birds by region, very little data exist on recent trade in live birds not listed on ...

Maternal environment shapes the life history and susceptibility to malaria of Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes. [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: It is becoming generally recognized that an individual's phenotype can be shaped not only by its own genotype and environmental experience, but also by its mother's environment and condition.

Haemosporidian infections limit physiological adaptation to elevation in birds: evidence from haemoglobin and fat reserves

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 4, July 2026.
Haemosporidian parasites are widely recognised as important drivers of avian physiology, with potential effects on oxygen transport and energy balance. These parasites infect red blood cells and consume host haemoglobin, reducing oxygen‐carrying capacity.

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 ...

CD8+ Tissue‐Resident Memory T Cells in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2026.
CD8+ TRM cells are at the center of immunity, mediating potent local innate and adaptive immune responses. While TRM cells mediate protective immunity against infections and tumors, they also contribute to pathological inflammation in autoimmune conditions.

Interactions between urbanization, malaria infection and avian cloacal microbiome

Urbanization, a major component of global change, has drastically modified the landscape, and is generally associated with biodiversity loss. Pollutants and low-quality food resources, among other urban stressors, can alter the physiology of urban ...

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) for point-of-care detection of asymptomatic low-density malaria parasite carriers in Zanzibar. [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Asymptomatic, low parasite density malaria infections are difficult to detect with currently available point-of-care diagnostics. This study piloted a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) kit for field-friendly, high-throughput ...

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.

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.
