On the specificity of avian blood parasites: Revealing specific and generalist relationships between haemosporidians and biting midges [PDF]
, 2012 The study of host-parasite relationships involving vector-borne parasites requires understanding interactions between parasites and vectors. The capacity of haemosporidians to infect insects has clear evolutionary consequences for the transmission of ...

Culicoides biting midges involved in transmission of haemoproteids
Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Background Culicoides biting midges (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae) are known vectors of avian Haemoproteus parasites. These parasites cause diseases, pathology and even mortality in birds.

Haemoproteus iwa in Great Frigatebirds (Fregata minor) in the Islands of the Western Indian Ocean. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Blood parasites of the sub-genus Haemoproteus have been reported in seabirds, in particular in species in the Suliformes order. These parasites are transmitted by hippoboscid flies of the genus Olfersia; strong specificity has been suggested between the ...

On the study of the transmission networks of blood parasites from SW Spain: diversity of avian haemosporidians in the biting midge Culicoides circumscriptus and wild birds [PDF]
, 2013 Background Blood-sucking flying insects play a key role in the transmission of pathogens of vector-borne diseases. However, at least for the case of avian malaria parasites, the vast majority of studies focus on the interaction between parasites and ...

Blood Parasites in Domestic Birds in Central Iran
Veterinary Sciences, 2020 Parasites may affect the dynamics of bird populations. Plasmodium, Leucocytozoon and Haemoproteus are well-known avian haematozoa that can trigger decreased productivity and high mortality in domesticated birds. In this study, we evaluated the prevalence

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.

A rare study from the wintering grounds provides insight into the costs of malaria infection for migratory birds [PDF]
, 2016 Malaria parasites can have strong effects on the population dynamics and evolution of migratory bird species. In many species, parasite transmission occurs on the wintering grounds, but studies to determine the consequences of infection have taken place ...
