A multiplex assay to detect mosquito species, bloodmeal host source and Plasmodium in malaria vectors using Nanopore amplicon sequencing

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Insectary‐reared mosquitoes were simultaneously assessed for species identification, bloodmeal source analysis and Plasmodium detection, using a single multiplexed sequencing run on the MinION sequencing platform. The method was applied to 150 insectary‐reared mosquitoes, representing nine species blood‐fed with five vertebrate hosts and 40 samples for

A phylogenetic study of Haemocystidium parasites and other Haemosporida using complete mitochondrial genome sequences

open access: yesInfection, Genetics and Evolution, 2020
Haemosporida are diverse vector-borne parasites associated with terrestrial vertebrates. Driven by the interest in species causing malaria (genus Plasmodium), the diversity of avian and mammalian haemosporidian species has been extensively studied, relying mostly on mitochondrial genes, particularly cytochrome b.

Is it best on the nest? Effects of avian life-history on haemosporidian parasitism

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2020
Infectious diseases vary in prevalence and pathology among host species. Species may differ in prevalence of infection due to varying exposure and susceptibility to disease agents throughout their lifetime, which may be attributable to underlying ...

Blood Parasites and Wildlife: The Development of a Discipline

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 2-10, January 2026.
Changes in our knowledge on blood parasite infections of wild animals in the last 30 years is reviewed with emphasis on taxonomy and phylogeny, impact of infections on fitness, and distribution of blood parasites. ABSTRACT In the last 30 years, the area of the study of parasitism caused by blood parasite infections on wildlife has suffered an ...

First Report of Haemoproteus (Haemosporida, Haemoproteidae) Megalomeronts in the Brain of an Avian Host, with Description of Megalomerogony of Haemoproteus Pastoris, the Blood Parasite of the Common Starling

open access: yesAnimals, 2021
Species of Haemoproteus (Haemoproteidae, Haemosporida) are common bird pathogens. Recent molecular studies combined with histopathology research have reported development of megalomeronts of these parasites in various organs, sometimes resulting in the ...

Haemoproteus nucleocondensus n. sp. (Haemosporida, Haemoproteidae) from a Eurasian songbird, the Great Reed Warbler Acrocephalus arundinaceus

open access: greenZootaxa, 2012
Haemoproteus (Parahaemoproteus) nucleocondensus n. sp. (Haemosporida, Haemoproteidae) is described from aEurasian songbird, the Great Reed Warbler Acrocephalus arundinaceus based on the morphology of its blood stages andpartial sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene.

Experimental Evidence That Blood Parasite Infection Affects Incubation Patterns in a Cavity‐Nesting Songbird

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 178-191, January 2026.
Chronic blood parasite infections in wild birds can affect their incubation behavior. In pied flycatchers, females with reduced parasite infections incubated for longer than control females. Despite behavioral changes, no immediate effects on fitness were observed.

Haemoproteus minutus is highly virulent for Australasian and South American parrots

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Haemoproteus and Plasmodium species are widespread avian blood parasites. Several Plasmodium species are known for their high virulence and have caused significant declines in naïve bird populations.
