Avian malaria affecting penguins in zoological gardens, aquariums and wildlife parks in the UK
Veterinary Record, Volume 189, Issue 9, 6/13 November 2021., 2021 Abstract Background Avian malaria has caused mortalities in captive penguins worldwide and it is a conservation threat for some wild penguins. The experience of staff working on penguins is highly valuable for the improvement of captivity conditions. Methods An online questionnaire was designed to collect avian malaria information in penguins in the UK.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page 753-762, January 2021., 2021 Using multisensor loggers and real‐time quantitative PCR, we found that infections with avian haemosporidian parasites have diverse, but relatively weak effects on the migration of great reed warblers. Our findings indicate that some parasite effects can be compensated and that avian hosts can cope with a broad range of chronic infection intensities ...

Carrion crows (Corvus corone) of southwest Germany: important hosts for haemosporidian parasites
Malaria Journal, 2017 Background Avian malaria parasites (Plasmodium spp.) and other Haemosporida (Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon spp.) form a diverse group of vector-transmitted blood parasites that are abundant in many bird families.

Coinfection rates of avian blood parasites increase with latitude in parapatric host species
Parasitology, 2023 Animals are frequently coinfected with multiple parasites concurrently, and advances in our sampling of these complex intra-host parasite communities have revealed important ecological impacts on their hosts.

A non-invasive feather-based methodology for the detection of blood parasites (Haemosporida)
Scientific Reports, 2023 Blood parasite (haemosporidian) infections are conventionally detected using blood samples; this implies capturing and handling birds to obtain them, which induces stress and causes pain.

Phylogeny of Hepatocystis parasites of Australian flying foxes reveals distinct parasite clade
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2018 Hepatocystis parasites are close relatives of mammalian Plasmodium species and infect a range of primates and bats. Here, we present the phylogenetic relationships of Hepatocystis parasites of three Australian flying fox species.
