Continental-scale patterns of pathogen prevalence: a case study on the corncrake [PDF]
, 2014 Pathogen infections can represent a substantial threat to wild populations, especially those already limited in size. To determine how much variation in the pathogens observed among fragmented populations is caused by ecological factors, one needs to ...

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.

Rheumatoid factor-like IgM in Plasmodium berghei (Apicomplexa: Haemosporida) infections of BALB/c mice [PDF]
Folia Parasitologica, 2003 Groups of female BALB/c mice infected by intravenous injection with 50 erythrocytes containing Plasmodium berghei Vincke et Lips, 1948 were sacrificed on days 3 through 12 after infection. Rheumatoid factor-like IgM (RF-IgM) and parasite-specific IgG levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in serum specimens and in culture medium ...

Prevalence of new and known species of haemoparasites in feral pigeons in northwest Italy [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Haemoparasites in feral pigeons have been studied in several countries but no data are available from Italy. The aim of this work was to evaluate the prevalence and diversity of Haemoproteus spp./Plasmodium spp. and Leucocytozoon spp.

Signs of a vector's adaptive choice: on the evasion of infectious hosts and parasite-induced mortality [PDF]
, 2014 Laboratory and field experiments have demonstrated in many cases that malaria vectors do not feed randomly, but show important preferences either for infected or non-infected hosts.

Novel RNA viruses associated with avian haemosporidian parasites.
PLoS ONE, 2022 Avian haemosporidian parasites can cause malaria-like symptoms in their hosts and have been implicated in the demise of some bird species. The newly described Matryoshka RNA viruses (MaRNAV1 and MaRNAV2) infect haemosporidian parasites that in turn ...
