Incidence of Haemoproteus columbae in pigeons of Jammu district [PDF]

Journal of Parasitic Diseases, 2013
Haemoproteus columbae is the major protozoan infection reported in pigeon and appeared in the erythrocyte of the peripheral circulation. Incidence and parasitaemia of H. columbae in pigeon was studied in different localities of Jammu, India for a period from April to September 2010 using thin blood smear examination.

Hippoboscid-transmitted Haemoproteus parasites (Haemosporida) infect Galapagos Pelecaniform birds: Evidence from molecular and morphological studies, with a description of Haemoproteus iwa

, 2011
Haemosporidian parasites are widely distributed and common parasites of birds, and the application of molecular techniques has revealed remarkable diversity among their lineages.

Domination Versus Sisterhoods in the Blood Microbiota of Migrating Birds: Patterns of Within‐ and Between‐Individual Blood Parasite Diversity Revealed Through Metabarcoding

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Avian haemosporidian blood parasites are typically identified through Sanger sequencing of a partial cytochrome b fragment, the MalAvi barcoding region. Next‐generation sequencing is seldom used for avian blood parasite identification; this study demonstrates a higher detection rate of co‐infections via metabarcoding and its possible implications ...

Urbanization and Vector Species Shape Avian Malaria Prevalence in Mosquitoes

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Avian malaria prevalence was assessed in two mosquito species across urban and peri‐urban habitats. No infections were detected in either species in urban areas, while a 2.53% prevalence was found in the native Culex pipiens from peri‐urban sites, highlighting the influence of urbanization on parasite transmission dynamics.

Leucocytozoon cariamae n. sp. and Haemoproteus pulcher coinfection in Cariama cristata (Aves: Cariamiformes): first mitochondrial genome analysis and morphological description of a leucocytozoid in Brazil

Parasitology, 2023
The distribution of avian haemosporidians of the genus Leucocytozoon in the Neotropics remains poorly understood. Recent studies confirmed their presence in the region using molecular techniques alone, but evidence for gametocytes and data on putative ...

Haemoproteus in passerines: infection dynamics at the individual level [PDF]

, 2018
The genus Haemoproteus is worldwide distributed parasitic protist, which belongs to the phylum Apicomplexa. This blood parasite has dixenous life cycle and he is occurs in the bird's blood and in invertebrate vectors. Genus Haemoproteus is transmitted by

Environmental Drivers on Blue Tit Nest Microbiome: An Experimental Study

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Elevated humidity and temperature altered nest microbial composition and its associations with parasitism and nestling condition. These findings identify nest microclimate as an important driver of nest microbiomes with consequences for avian development.

Chewing Lice From the Wings of Migrating Shorebirds: Diversity, Host Specificity, and Associations With Host Body Condition

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We investigated the diversity, prevalence, and abundance of chewing lice in 1403 individuals representing 20 migratory shorebird species from the families Charadriidae and Scolopacidae, identifying 26 louse species through microscopy and DNA barcoding.

Haemosporidian infections limit physiological adaptation to elevation in birds: evidence from haemoglobin and fat reserves

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 4, July 2026.
Haemosporidian parasites are widely recognised as important drivers of avian physiology, with potential effects on oxygen transport and energy balance. These parasites infect red blood cells and consume host haemoglobin, reducing oxygen‐carrying capacity.
