Aging of different avian cultured cells : lack of ROS-induced damage and quality control mechanisms

, 2010
Elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels have been observed in mammals during aging, implying an important role of ROS in the aging process. Most bird species are known to live longer and to contain lower ROS levels than mammals of the same body ...

Identification and characterization of the merozoite surface protein 1 (msp1) gene in a host-generalist avian malaria parasite, Plasmodium relictum (lineages SGS1 and GRW4) with the use of blood transcriptome [Elektronisk resurs]

, 2013
Background: The merozoite surface protein 1 (msp1) is one of the most studied vaccine candidate genes in mammalian Plasmodium spp. to have been used for investigations of epidemiology, population structures, and immunity to infections.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the little egret (Egretta garzetta)

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2015
Many phylogenetic questions in the Ciconiiformes remain unresolved and complete mitogenome data are urgently needed for further molecular investigation.

Detection of avian malaria in wild birds at Trisik Beach of Yogyakarta, Java (Indonesia) [PDF]

, 2019
Avian haemosporidian (Plasmodium, Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon) are abundant and widespread vector-borne parasites in birds. However, our knowledge is very limited. This study used a nested-PCR to detect the prevalence level of haematozoan parasites in

Diversity, abundance, and host relationships in the avian malaria community of New Mexico pine forests

, 2017
Avian malaria parasites (genera Haemoproteus, Plasmodium, and Leucocytozoon) affect bird demography, distribution limits, and community structure, yet most bird communities and populations remain unsurveyed. We conducted a community-level survey of these

Molecular Epidemiology of Avian Malaria in Wild Breeding Colonies of Humboldt and Magellanic Penguins in South America [PDF]

, 2015
Avian malaria is a disease caused by species of the genera Haemoproteus, Leucocytozoon, and Plasmodium. It affects hundreds of bird species, causing varied clinical signs depending on the susceptibility of the host species.

Avian Subspecies: Summary and Prospectus

, 2010
The 14 papers in this monograph represent the first broad-based evaluation of avian subspecies in decades and one of few, if any, multifaceted treatments of subspecies for any taxon. As such, there are multiple points of agreement and disagreement.

Striking pseudogenization in avian phylogenetics: Numts are large and common in falcons

, 2017
Nuclear copies of mitochondrial genes (numts) are a well-known feature of eukaryotic genomes and a concern in systematics, as they can mislead phylogenetic inferences when inadvertently used.

Application of a random walk model to geographic distributions of animal mitochondrial DNA variation. [PDF]

, 1993
In rapidly evolving molecules, such as animal mitochondrial DNA, mutations that delineate specific lineages may not be dispersed at sufficient rates to attain an equilibrium between genetic drift and gene flow.
