Morphological and molecular characterization of Haemoproteus coatneyi and Haemoproteus erythrogravidus (Haemosporida: Haemoproteidae) in Passeriformes in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2020 Haemoproteus spp. are protozoan parasites found in birds around the world. These parasites are identified through the morphology of gametocytes, phylogenetic analysis based on the mitochondrial cytb gene, and the parasite’s geographic distribution.

First Investigation of Haemosporidian Species and Record of Novel Genetic Lineages in Eurasian Griffon Vultures (Gyps fulvus) in Greece [PDF]
Veterinary SciencesEurasian griffon vultures (Gyps fulvus) are endangered scavenger birds. Haemosporidian parasites infect the blood cells and organs of many avian species globally, using blood-sucking insect vectors, and they negatively affect health of birds and ...

Blood Parasites and Wildlife: The Development of a Discipline. [PDF]
Integr ZoolChanges in our knowledge on blood parasite infections of wild animals in the last 30 years is reviewed with emphasis on taxonomy and phylogeny, impact of infections on fitness, and distribution of blood parasites. ABSTRACT In the last 30 years, the area of the study of parasitism caused by blood parasite infections on wildlife has suffered an ...

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.

Experimental Evidence That Blood Parasite Infection Affects Incubation Patterns in a Cavity-Nesting Songbird. [PDF]
Integr ZoolChronic blood parasite infections in wild birds can affect their incubation behavior. In pied flycatchers, females with reduced parasite infections incubated for longer than control females. Despite behavioral changes, no immediate effects on fitness were observed.

Haemoproteus spp. and Leucocytozoon californicus Coinfection in a Merlin (Falco colombarius)
Pathogens, 2020 The Leucocytozoon genus comprises numerous widely distributed parasites which have been less investigated than other avian hemoprotozoa. Their occurrence is common, with very variable prevalence values and pathogenicity degrees. Leucocytozoon species are
