Detection of Avian Haemosporidian Parasites in Wild Birds in Slovakia

Diversity
Haemosporidians are a group of vector-borne parasites belonging to the order Haemosporida. These parasites infect avian hosts and require blood-sucking insects (Diptera) for transmission.

A single Haemoproteus plataleae haplotype is widespread in white ibis (Eudocimus albus) from urban and rural sites in southern Florida

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2023
The American white ibis (Eudocimus albus), a common bird species in Florida, has become increasingly urban, with many populations relying heavily on urban and suburban habitats, which may alter parasite transmission.

Genomic Content in Avian Haemosporidian Parasites Suggests Co‐Regulation of Apicoplast and Mitochondrial Nucleoids

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Apicoplast genomic content and mitochondrial genomic content were found to be strongly correlated (rho = 0.93) for infections going from low to high. Apicoplast and mitochondrial genomic content were deemed as more predictive factors of parasitemia for different infection intensities.

Domination Versus Sisterhoods in the Blood Microbiota of Migrating Birds: Patterns of Within‐ and Between‐Individual Blood Parasite Diversity Revealed Through Metabarcoding

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Avian haemosporidian blood parasites are typically identified through Sanger sequencing of a partial cytochrome b fragment, the MalAvi barcoding region. Next‐generation sequencing is seldom used for avian blood parasite identification; this study demonstrates a higher detection rate of co‐infections via metabarcoding and its possible implications ...

Parasites at the Summit: Unexpected Geographic Distribution of the Blood Parasite Lineage Found in the Endangered Giant Lizard of Tenerife

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We combined microscopic screening and molecular phylogenetic analyses to characterize blood parasites infecting Gallotia intermedia from the coastal cliffs of Montaña de Guaza and to place these infections in a broader biogeographic context. We detected apicomplexan parasites of the genus Karyolysus infecting 53.6% of G.

Insights into the biology of Leucocytozoon species (Haemosporida, Leucocytozoidae): Why is there slow research progress on agents of Leucocytozoonosis? / [PDF]

, 2023
Blood parasites of the genus Leucocytozoon (Leucocytozoidae) only inhabit birds and represent a readily distinct evolutionary branch of the haemosporidians (Haemosporida, Apicomplexa).

Characterisation of Typical Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (tEPEC) and bfpA Genes From Five Bat Species Reveals Australian Pteropus Spp. Are Natural tEPEC Hosts

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
This study revealed that Australia's five Pteropus bat species are all natural hosts of typical Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (tEPEC)—historically considered a human‐specific pathogen. Across the five Pteropus spp., tEPEC prevalence ranged between 14.2% and 37.0%, with 18 bat‐specific tEPEC strain types and 24 bat‐specific bfpA allele types ...

Description and molecular characterization of novel Leucocytozoon parasite (Apicomplexa: Haemosporida: Leucocytozoidae), Leucocytozoon polynuclearisn. sp. found in North American woodpeckers / [PDF]

, 2022
We describe Leucocytozoon polynuclearis n. sp. (Haemosporida: Leucocytozoidae) from two North American woodpeckers, the northern flicker (Colaptes auratus Linnaeus) and white-headed woodpecker (Dryobates albolarvatus Boie, 1826), based on the morphology ...
