Studies on infectious etiologies associated with neurological disorders in pigeons in Kerala [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, 2022 Pigeons are reared as a symbol of peace, love, gentleness and spirit messengers and now-a-days also for meat, as ornamental pet bird or as an experimental animal. There are about 400 varieties of fancy pigeons and little is known about the diseases and

Haemosporidian Infection Risk Variation Across an Urban Gradient in a Songbird. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAvian haemosporidian community composition of a songbird was assessed across an urbanization gradient. Broad urban‐associated land use changes corresponded with reduced host‐specialist parasites and reduced prevalence of avian parasites. Select local habitat characteristics and vector abundance may present additional risks for infection prevalence ...

Prevalence and Diversity of Haemosporidian-Associated Matryoshka RNA Viruses in a Natural Population of Wild Birds. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study investigated the prevalence and diversity of Matryoshka RNA viruses (MaRNAV) in wild birds in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. Using RNA sequencing and RT‐PCR, we identified two novel MaRNAVs (MaRNAV‐5 and ‐6) associated with haemosporidian infections in passerines and raptors. These findings suggest a high prevalence of these viruses,

Climate‐Driven Increase in Transmission of a Wildlife Malaria Parasite Over the Last Quarter Century [PDF]
Global change biology.Climate warming is shaping ecosystems in several ways, and this includes changes in the dynamics of wildlife disease transmission. Over 26 years, avian malaria parasites have become much more common in a population of blue tits, small songbirds that we surveyed in southern Sweden.
