New Host Records for Haemoproteus spp. (Apicomplexa: Haemosporidiasina) in Passeriformes from North-west of Iran

Journal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases, 2017
Background: The intracellular protozoan parasites of the genus Haemoproteus occur in different avian hosts all over the world. Various genus of blood sucking insects’ families such as Hippoboscidae and Ceratopogonidae could transmit Haemoproteus in avian

Phenology underlies inconsistent urbanization effects on avian malaria (Leucocytozoon sp.) in juvenile songbirds

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Urbanization can modify species interactions, including those between parasites and their hosts. In birds, urbanization can either increase or decrease avian malaria (haemosporidian) infection, depending on host species, parasite, or study location. However, temporal coordination between parasites and hosts, which may impact infection outcomes,

Blood parasites (Trypanosoma, Leucocytozoon, Haemoproteus) in the Eurasian sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus): diversity, incidence and persistence of infection at the individual level

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background A high prevalence of parasites may result from life-long persistence of infection or from high reinfection rates. We have studied blood parasites in a breeding population of the accipitrid raptor, Eurasian sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus), to ...

Host–parasite oxidative arms race: who will win?

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Avian haemosporidian parasites are globally widespread with a broad repertoire of hosts. When infected, the host can either reduce (resistance) and/or limit the severity of parasitaemia (tolerance). Oxidative stress plays a pivotal role in the host's resistance and tolerance, as well as its detrimental endpoints.

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 ...

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 ...

Cere hue, heterophile/lymphocyte ratio (H/L ratio), white blood cell count (WBC), body mass and prevalence of Haemoproteus infection in adult male and female kestrels in different brood size manipulation groups.

, 2013
Haemoproteus infection shows the % individuals infected. The statistical test for a sex difference in the variable is a linear model for the other variables and a likelihood ratio test for Haemoproteus infection.

Molecular probes for the identification of avian Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon parasites in tissue sections by chromogenic in situ hybridization

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Avian haemosporidian parasites can cause severe disease in their hosts due to excessive exo-erythrocytic merogony and anaemia caused by blood stages.
