Effects of migratory status and habitat on the prevalence and intensity of infection by haemoparasites in passerines in eastern Spain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The Iberian peninsula is a suitable place to study the effects of migratory condition on the prevalence of blood parasites in avian communities as resident, local populations cohabit with migratory species and with abundant vector populations.

Occurrence of leucocytozoon and haemoproteus [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales de Parasitologie Humaine et Comparée, 1984
Blood smears from Falconiformes (91 birds of 10 species) and Strigiformes (23 birds of 5 species) captured in Italy, were examined for haematozoa. Leucocytozoon were found in Falco tinnuculus, Buteo buteo, Circus cyaneus, Circus pygargus, Accipiter nisus from Falconiformes and in Strix aluco, from Strigiformes.

Subtle stressors—Strong responses. Consistent negative effects of avian blood parasites on phenotypic and demographic traits across songbirds

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 10, Page 1908-1921, October 2025.
Avian blood parasites are widespread and often considered benign, yet mounting evidence suggests they subtly impair host traits. This meta‐analysis is timely and necessary to quantify their true impact across systems, challenging assumptions and highlighting overlooked consequences for fitness and population dynamics. Abstract Stressors that subtly yet

Reduced Offspring Viability Is Associated With Long‐Term Stability of a Narrow Avian Hybrid Zone

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
We investigated hybrid viability in a tropical, avian hybrid zone governed by strong selection on male secondary sexual traits between the white‐collared manakin (Manacus candei) and golden‐collared manakin (M. vitellinus). We assessed putative hybrid fitness by investigating adult survival and hatching success along with a prospective selective ...

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

open access: yesParasites & 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.

Haemosporidian parasites (Apicomplexa, Haemosporida) of breeding common starling Sturnus vulgaris in Latvia

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 5, September 2025.
Migratory behaviour in seasonal environments affects host–pathogen relationships, especially for vector‐transmitted blood parasites of the order Haemosporida. The common starling Sturnus vulgaris is a short‐distance migrant where the north‐eastern European breeding population spend the non‐breeding season in temperate mild western Europe.

Hematozoa of Common Grackles (Quiscalus quiscula versicolor, Vieillot) in Central Arkansas [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
During the years 1977-84, 118 bronzed grackles, Quiscalus quiscula versicolor, Vieillot, of 132 examined were found infected with hematozoa. The eight species of symbionts collected from the infected birds included two microfilarial species (Chandlerella

Adaptive landscape genetics and malaria across divergent island bird populations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Environmental conditions play a major role in shaping the spatial distributions of pathogens, which in turn can drive local adaptation and divergence in host genetic diversity.
