Haemoparasites in endemic and non-endemic passerine birds from central Mexico highlands

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2020
Haemosporidian parasites of birds are found worldwide and include the genera Haemoproteus, Plasmodium and Leucocytozoon. Infection with haemosporidian parasites can affect host physical condition and reproductive success.

Energetic and oxidative costs of microfilarial infection: evidence for fitness trade‐offs in male village weavers of the Amurum Forest Reserve

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Microfilariae contribute to a higher energetic demand that could lead to oxidative damage and reduce hosts' fitness. Yet reports about the energy status and oxidative stress‐defense mechanisms of infected wild birds are rarely documented. We investigated the relationship between microfilariae and the energy status and oxidative damage‐defense ...

Detection, prevalence, and transmission of avian hematozoa in waterfowl at the Arctic/sub-Arctic interface: co-infections, viral interactions, and sources of variation [PDF]

, 2016
Background The epidemiology of avian hematozoa at high latitudes is still not well understood, particularly in sub-Arctic and Arctic habitats, where information is limited regarding seasonality and range of transmission, co-infection dynamics with ...

WIMANET: The Power of a Network in Wildlife Malaria Research

Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 11-16, January 2026.
The Wildlife Malaria Network (WIMANET) is an EU‐COST funded global network of researchers and stakeholders interested in wildlife malaria and related haemosporidian parasites. In this paper, we review WIMANET's activities to date. We hope this encourages new members to join the network and motivates both new and existing members to participate in its ...

High rates of infection by blood parasites during the nestling phase in UK Columbids with notes on ecological associations [PDF]

, 2017
Studies of blood parasite infection in nestling birds rarely find a high prevalence of infection. This is likely due to a combination of short nestling periods (limiting the age at which nestlings can be sampled) and long parasite prepatent periods ...

Identification of a new vector species of avian haemoproteids, with a description of methodology for the determination of natural vectors of haemosporidian parasites

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Haemosporidian parasites are transmitted by dipteran blood-sucking insects but certain vectors remain unidentified for the great majority of described species.

Host associations, biogeography, and phylogenetics of avian malaria in southern African waterfowl [PDF]

, 2012
The relevance of spatial variation in the environment and host communities for parasite community composition is poorly documented, creating a need for additional case studies from which general principles can be developed.

Prevalence of new and known species of haemoparasites in feral pigeons in northwest Italy [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Haemoparasites in feral pigeons have been studied in several countries but no data are available from Italy. The aim of this work was to evaluate the prevalence and diversity of Haemoproteus spp./Plasmodium spp. and Leucocytozoon spp.

A New Species of Plasmodium of the Subgenus Novyella Infecting White‐Shouldered Fire‐Eyes (Pyriglena leucoptera) (Aves: Thamnophilidae) in Brazil

Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 192-202, January 2026.
South America has a remarkable genetic diversity of avian haemosporidians, yet only a few species have been described combining molecular and morphological data. This study introduces Plasmodium (Novyella) pyriglenae sp. nov., a new species infecting the white‐shouldered fire‐eye (Pyriglena leucoptera) in Brazil.
