Can the intake of antiparasitic secondary metabolites explain the low prevalence of hemoparasites among wild Psittaciformes? [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Parasites can exert selection pressure on their hosts through effects on survival, on reproductive success, on sexually selected ornament, with important ecological and evolutionary consequences, such as changes in population viability ...

Haemosporidian parasites (Apicomplexa, Haemosporida) of breeding common starling Sturnus vulgaris in Latvia

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 5, September 2025.
Migratory behaviour in seasonal environments affects host–pathogen relationships, especially for vector‐transmitted blood parasites of the order Haemosporida. The common starling Sturnus vulgaris is a short‐distance migrant where the north‐eastern European breeding population spend the non‐breeding season in temperate mild western Europe.

High Abundance of Haemoproteus Parasites in Culicoides (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae), with a Confirmation of Culicoides reconditus as a New Vector of These Avian Blood Parasites

Insects
Haemoproteus parasites are the most diverse among Haemosporida. However, their natural vectors (Culicoides) are still poorly investigated and were identified for only a few parasite species and lineages. The application of an integrative approach (insect

Adaptive landscape genetics and malaria across divergent island bird populations [PDF]

, 2019
Environmental conditions play a major role in shaping the spatial distributions of pathogens, which in turn can drive local adaptation and divergence in host genetic diversity.

Haemoproteusinfected birds have increased lifetime reproductive success

Parasitology, 2015
SUMMARYThe impact of haematozoan infection on host fitness has received substantial attention since Hamilton and Zuk posited that parasites are important drivers of sexual selection. However, short-term studies testing the assumption that these parasites consistently reduce host fitness in the wild have produced contradictory results.

Prevalence and Diversity of Avian Haematozoan Parasites in Wetlands of Bangladesh

Journal of Parasitology Research, 2014
The parasites of genera Haemoproteus, Plasmodium, and Leucocytozoon are well-known avian haematozoa and can cause declined productivity and high mortality in wild birds.

Plasmodium spp. and Haemoproteus spp. infection in birds of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest detected by microscopy and polymerase chain reaction

Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira, 2015
In recent years haemosporidian infection by protozoa of the genus Plasmodium and Haemoproteus, has been considered one of the most important factors related to the extinction and/or population decline of several species of birds worldwide.
