Unexpected absence of exo-erythrocytic merogony during high gametocytaemia in two species of Haemoproteus (Haemosporida: Haemoproteidae), including description of Haemoproteus angustus n. sp. (lineage hCWT7) and a report of previously unknown residual bodies during in vitro gametogenesis

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Neglected avian blood parasites of the genus Haemoproteus (Haemoproteidae) have recently attracted attention due to the application of molecular diagnostic tools, which unravelled remarkable diversity of their exo-erythrocytic (or tissue) stages both ...

Haemoproteus minutus is highly virulent for Australasian and South American parrots

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Haemoproteus and Plasmodium species are widespread avian blood parasites. Several Plasmodium species are known for their high virulence and have caused significant declines in naïve bird populations.

Genetic diversity and host specificity varies across three genera of blood parasites in ducks of the Pacific Americas Flyway.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Birds of the order Anseriformes, commonly referred to as waterfowl, are frequently infected by Haemosporidia of the genera Haemoproteus, Plasmodium, and Leucocytozoon via dipteran vectors.

Spatial distribution, prevalence and diversity of haemosporidians in the rufous-collared sparrow, Zonotrichia capensis

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Parasite prevalence and diversity are determined by the distribution of hosts and vectors and by the interplay among a suite of environmental factors.

Effects of migratory status and habitat on the prevalence and intensity of infection by haemoparasites in passerines in eastern Spain [PDF]

, 2013
The Iberian peninsula is a suitable place to study the effects of migratory condition on the prevalence of blood parasites in avian communities as resident, local populations cohabit with migratory species and with abundant vector populations.

The epidemiology underlying age-related avian malaria infection in a long-lived host: the mute swan Cygnus olor [PDF]

Quantifying the factors that predict parasite outbreak and persistence is a major challenge for both applied and fundamental biology. Key to understanding parasite prevalence and disease outbreaks is determining at what age individuals show signs of ...
