Climate‐Driven Increase in Transmission of a Wildlife Malaria Parasite Over the Last Quarter Century

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 10, October 2025.
Climate warming is shaping ecosystems in several ways, and this includes changes in the dynamics of wildlife disease transmission. Over 26 years, avian malaria parasites have become much more common in a population of blue tits, small songbirds that we surveyed in southern Sweden.

Epidemiological traits of the malaria-like parasite Polychromophilus murinus in the Daubenton’s bat Myotis daubentonii

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background The great diversity of bat haemosporidians is being uncovered with the help of molecular tools. Yet most of these studies provide only snapshots in time of the parasites discovered.

PENGARUH KOMBINASI ANNONA MURICATA DAN ARTEMISININ-BASED COMBINATION TERAPHY (ACT) TERHADAP LAMA HIDUP DAN PARASITEMI PADA MENCIT YANG MENDERITA MALARIA (Studi Infeksi Plasmodium berghei ANKA pada Mencit swiss) [PDF]

, 2016
Background: There are many cases of malaria in Indonesia, Annona muricata is a medicinal plant widely grown in Indonesia. Therapy with the extract of Annona muricata is expected to prolong the length of life of Plasmodium-infected mice.

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 ...

A morphological survey of avian Haemosporida in Colombian wild birds

Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Pecuarias
Introduction: Infection by protozoan haemoparasites causing malaria in birds is chronic and can lead to physical, reproductive, and behavioral alterations, resulting in a decline in the populations of affected wild birds. Objective: To identify parasitic agents causing avian malaria in a wild bird population in Jardin (Antioquia, Colombia) through ...

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 ...

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
