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

Disentangling Environmental and Within-Host Drivers of Parasite Dynamics in Natural Populations. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Understanding how parasite communities assemble and persist in the wild requires integrating both spatial and temporal dynamics, especially in systems involving multiple co‐circulating lineages. Using a unique 28‐year dataset of individually monitored great tits (Parus major) from five sites in western Switzerland, we investigated the eco ...

What Can Haemosporidian Lineages Found in Culicoides Biting Midges Tell Us about Their Feeding Preferences?

Diversity, 2022
Haemoproteus (Parahaemoproteus) parasites are transmitted by Culicoides biting midges. However, the natural vectors of only six of the almost 180 recognized Haemoproteus species have been identified.

Use of Contaminated Habitat and Associated Selenium Uptake Mediate Haemosporidian Parasite Infections in Wild Passerine Birds. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We conducted a community‐scale field study to evaluate whether trace element contaminants derived from coal combustion residuals and nuclear fission products alter the dynamics of haemosporidian blood parasites, dipteran vectors, and avian hosts in riparian and wetland habitats in South Carolina, USA.

The pathology and pathogenicity of a novel Haemoproteus spp. infection in wild Little Penguins (Eudyptula minor) [PDF]

, 2013
One hundred and thirty four Little Penguin (Eudyptula minor) carcases found since 2004 in south west Australia were necropsied. The livers and spleens from ten of the penguins exhibited varying degrees of multifocal, randomly scattered areas of necrosis ...

The 18S rRNA genes of Haemoproteus (Haemosporida, Apicomplexa) parasites from European songbirds with remarks on improved parasite diagnostics

Malaria Journal, 2023
Background The nuclear ribosomal RNA genes of Plasmodium parasites are assumed to evolve according to a birth-and-death model with new variants originating by duplication and others becoming deleted.
