Avian malaria and invasion success: Contrasting infection patterns in two introduced Eurasian sparrows in North America (Passer domesticus and Passer montanus) [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and WildlifeBiological invasions present a unique context to investigate how parasites influence host establishment and spread. We compared whether the more invasive house sparrow (Passer domesticus, HOSP) showed lower haemosporidian (Plasmodium) infection ...

Blood Parasites of Vangas and Other Corvoidea on Madagascar
Diversity, 2022 Madagascar hosts a great diversity of bird species. This study focuses on the description of the diversity and prevalence of blood parasites (Haemosporida, trypanosomes and filarioid nematodes) in 131 blood samples of 14 species of Corvoidea, namely ...

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023 Abstract Host–parasite distribution and interactions depend on geography, evolutionary associations, species composition, and their response to environmental variables. In this sense, host specificity as a key parasite's life history trait may determine parasite community composition but can be difficult to identify in nature.

Associations between Afrotropical bats, eukaryotic parasites, and microbial symbionts
Molecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 7, Page 1939-1950, April 2022., 2022 Abstract Skin is the largest mammalian organ and the first defensive barrier against the external environment. The skin and fur of mammals can host a wide variety of ectoparasites, many of which are phylogenetically diverse, specialized, and specifically adapted to their hosts.
