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 ...

Biting midges (Culicoides, Diptera) transmit Haemoproteus parasites of owls: evidence from sporogony and molecular phylogeny

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Haemoproteus parasites are widespread, and several species cause diseases both in birds and blood-sucking insects. These pathogens are transmitted by dipterans belonging to the Ceratopogonidae and Hippoboscidae, however certain vector species ...

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 ...

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.

Haemoproteus in passerines: Prevalence and infekction dynamics

, 2020
The genera Haemoproteus and Plasmodium are widespread genera of blood parasites from phylum Apicomplexa. Both genera have dixenous life cycle and their definitive hosts belong to the order Diptera.

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.

Bird Community Composition, Migration, and Environmental Factors Jointly Influence the Global Distribution of Avian Haemosporidian Lineages

Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 60-68, January 2026.
Avian haemosporidians are widely distributed; however, the role of migratory and non‐migratory birds, as well as environmental conditions, is incompletely understood. A histogram of the number of parasite lineages per ecoregion shows the variation in avian haemosporidian richness across space.

The life-cycle of the avian haemosporidian parasite Haemoproteus majoris, with emphasis on the exoerythrocytic and sporogonic development

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Haemoproteus parasites (Haemosporida, Haemoproteidae) are cosmopolitan in birds and recent molecular studies indicate enormous genetic diversity of these pathogens, which cause diseases in non-adapted avian hosts.
