Integrating coalescent species delimitation with analysis of host specificity reveals extensive cryptic diversity despite minimal mitochondrial divergence in the malaria parasite genus Leucocytozoon

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018
Background Coalescent methods that use multi-locus sequence data are powerful tools for identifying putatively reproductively isolated lineages, though this approach has rarely been used for the study of microbial groups that are likely to harbor many ...

Expanding the transgene expression toolbox of the malaria vector Anopheles stephensi

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 104-110, February 2025.
An. stephensi lipophorin (lp) gene fragment drives expression of the ZsYellow marker protein in the fat body of aquatic and adult life stages of An. stephensi validating its utility for expression in these tissues. The lp‐driven expression is distinguishable from the commonly utilised 3xP3 promoter, suggesting that both promoters could be used ...

Experimental manipulation of nest temperature and relative humidity reduces ectoparasites and affects body condition of Blue Tits (Cyanistes caeruleus)

Ibis, Volume 167, Issue 1, Page 212-224, January 2025.
Many models predict changes in the distribution and incidence of diseases associated with climate change. However, studies exploring the effect of microclimatic changes on host–parasite relationships are scarce. In this study, we increased temperature or humidity in Eurasian Blue Tit Cyanistes caeruleus nestboxes during the breeding season, to analyse ...

Analytic Approaches in Genomic Epidemiological Studies of Parasitic Protozoa

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) plays an important role in the advanced characterization of pathogen transmission and is widely used in studies of major bacterial and viral diseases. Although protozoan parasites cause serious diseases in humans and animals, WGS data on them are relatively scarce due to the large genomes and lack of cultivation techniques

Haemoproteosis lethality in a woodpecker, with molecular and morphological characterization of Haemoproteus velans (Haemosporida, Haemoproteidae)

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2019
A juvenile White-headed woodpecker (Dryobates albolarvatus) fitted with a radio tag was located dead at approximately 22-days post-fledging in Yakima county in central Washington in July 2015. Postmortem examination revealed an enlarged liver and spleen plus evidence of iron sequestration.

Molekularphylogenetische Analysen der Ecdysozoa und Haemosporida [PDF]

, 2017
The advent of molecular phylogenetics has revolutionized our understanding of the tree of life. In my PhD thesis, I have aimed to elucidate various aspects of the deep phylogeny of Ecdysozoa and Haemosporida employing classical PCR-based approaches, next-

Data from: Phylogeny of haemosporidian blood parasites revealed by a multi-gene approach

, 2015
The apicomplexan order Haemosporida is a clade of unicellular blood parasites that infect a variety of reptilian, avian and mammalian hosts. Among them are the agents of human malaria, parasites of the genus Plasmodium, which pose a major threat to human

Unraveling the host range of Plasmodium huffi: morphological, histopathological and molecular characterization in red-legged seriemas from Brazil

Parasitology
Avian Plasmodium parasites can be pathogenic to their vertebrate hosts. Although cases of anaemia are frequently reported in parasitized birds, the potential damage caused by the parasite during the exoerythrocytic reproduction phase remains poorly ...

Under the light: high prevalence of haemoparasites in lizards (Reptilia: Squamata) from Central Amazonia revealed by microscopy [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
Blood samples from 330 lizards of 19 species were collected to investigate the occurrence of haemoparasites. Samplings were performed in areas of upland (terra-firme) forest adjacent to Manaus municipality, Amazonas, Brazil. Blood parasites were detected
