Infection intensity shapes specialization and beta diversity of haemosporidian–bird networks across elevations

open access: yesEcosphere, 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.

Non-invasive investigation of Polychromophilus parasite infections in bat populations in Serbia using bat flies

open access: yesParasites & 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

open access: yesMalaria 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.

Egzoerithrocitinės Haemoproteus (Apicomplexa, Haemosporida) parazitų vystymosi stadijos laukiniuose paukščiuse: įžvalgos į vystymosi dėsningumus. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Avian haemosporidian parasites of the genus Haemoproteus (Apicomplexa, Haemosporida) are widespread and can cause mortality in non-adaptive hosts. Over 170 species of these parasites were described but little is known about their complete life cycles ...

Coinfection rates of avian blood parasites increase with latitude in parapatric host species

open access: yesParasitology, 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.

Molecular characterization and morphological description of cryptic haemoproteids in the laughingthrushes (Leiothrichidae) in the western and eastern Himalaya, India [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

open access: yesWellcome Open Research, 2018
Background: Laughingthrushes (family: Leiothrichidae) consists of diverse and widespread species found in the Indian subcontinent but there is a lack of information on their avian haemosporidians.  Methods: We sampled 231 laughingthrushes of 8 species in

Phylogeny of Hepatocystis parasites of Australian flying foxes reveals distinct parasite clade

open access: yesInternational 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.

Novel RNA viruses associated with avian haemosporidian parasites.

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...
