Experimental Evidence That Blood Parasite Infection Affects Incubation Patterns in a Cavity‐Nesting Songbird

Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 178-191, January 2026.
Chronic blood parasite infections in wild birds can affect their incubation behavior. In pied flycatchers, females with reduced parasite infections incubated for longer than control females. Despite behavioral changes, no immediate effects on fitness were observed.

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.

High Abundance of Haemoproteus Parasites in Culicoides (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae), with a Confirmation of Culicoides reconditus as a New Vector of These Avian Blood Parasites

Insects
Haemoproteus parasites are the most diverse among Haemosporida. However, their natural vectors (Culicoides) are still poorly investigated and were identified for only a few parasite species and lineages. The application of an integrative approach (insect

Characterization of Haemoproteus (Haemoproteus) columbae genome: as a tool for evolutionary study of Haemosporida order [PDF]

, 2019
Research on malaria has focused during a long time on the parasites that infect humans.However, it is also true that most information about the biology of this parasites comes from experimental models.

Molecular Prevalence of Avian Haemosporidian Parasites in Southeast Asia: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Animals
In this study, for the first time, a systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to understand the prevalence and genetic diversity of haemosporidian parasites—namely, Plasmodium, Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon—in avian species in Southeast Asia ...
