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 ...

Malaria Journal, 2012 Background The majority of Haemosporida species infect birds or reptiles, but many important genera, including Plasmodium, infect mammals. Dipteran vectors shared by avian, reptilian and mammalian Haemosporida, suggest multiple invasions of Mammalia ...

Combining morphological and molecular data to reconstruct the phylogeny of avian Haemosporida
International Journal for Parasitology, 2018 The traditional classification of avian Haemosporida is based mainly on morphology and life history traits. Recently, molecular hypotheses have challenged the traditional classification, leading to contradictory opinions on whether morphology is phylogenetically informative.

Prevalence patterns of avian haemosporida on Hispaniola
Journal of Avian Biology, 2010 We used PCR to screen for the presence of haemosporidian parasites (Phylum: Apicomplexa; Order: Haemosporida) in avian blood samples, and sequenced the parasite mitochondrial cytochrome b gene from infected hosts, to study patterns in the prevalence of haemosporidians in 1,166 individuals of ...

Parasites & Vectors, 2023 Background Haemosporidian parasites of the genus Polychromophilus infect bats worldwide. They are vectored by obligate ectoparasitic bat flies of the family Nycteribiidae.

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.

Hepatocystis and Nycteria (Haemosporida) parasite infections of bats in the Central Region of Cameroon [PDF]
Parasitology, 2021 AbstractMammalian haemosporidian parasites are classified in ten genera, including Plasmodium, Hepatocystis and Nycteria. A high diversity of haemosporidian parasites has been described from bats, but our understanding of their prevalence, distribution and use of hosts remain fragmented.

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.

Parasitology Research, 2008 Understanding the breeding systems of Plasmodium, and the closely related Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon (Apicomplexa: Haemosporida), is fundamental to virulence and transmission research. We report an unusual binding behaviour between gametocytes of Leucocytozoon toddi.
