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

Exo-erythrocytic development of two Haemoproteus species (Haemosporida, Haemoproteidae), with description of Haemoproteus dumbbellus, a new blood parasite of bunting birds (Emberizidae) [PDF]
Avian haemosporidians are widespread parasites categorized into four families of the order Haemosporida (Apicomplexa). Species of the subgenus Parahaemoproteus (genus Haemoproteus) belong to the Haemoproteidae and are transmitted by Culicoides biting ...

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

New Haemoproteus parasite of parrots, with remarks on the virulence of haemoproteids in naive avian hosts. [PDF]
Haemoproteus infections can cause fatal disease in parrots (Psittaciformes), one of the most endangered groups of birds. The great diversity of parrots in tropical and subtropical ecosystems has been markedly understudied in terms of their parasite ...
