PCR-RFLP detection of Haemoproteus spp. (Haemosporida: Haemoproteidae) in pigeon blood samples from Iran [PDF]

Bulgarian Journal of Veterinary Medicine, 2018
This study was carried out to determine Haemoproteus spp. infection in pigeons in Iran. Blood sam-ples collected from pigeons were examined for Haemoproteus spp. using stained blood smears and polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

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

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 465-477, September 2026.
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

Elucidating the Factors that Modulate the Distribution of Avian Haemosporida Parasites across a Community of Hosts [PDF]

, 2013
Parasites are heterogeneously distributed across host species, host populations, and host individuals within populations. A primary aim of infectious disease ecology seeks to uncover the factors that drive this heterogeneity. At a fundamental level, host

Environmental Drivers on Blue Tit Nest Microbiome: An Experimental Study

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Elevated humidity and temperature altered nest microbial composition and its associations with parasitism and nestling condition. These findings identify nest microclimate as an important driver of nest microbiomes with consequences for avian development.

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

International 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 ...

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

Animals, 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 ...

A morphological survey of avian Haemosporida in Colombian wild birds

Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Pecuarias
Introduction: Infection by protozoan haemoparasites causing malaria in birds is chronic and can lead to physical, reproductive, and behavioral alterations, resulting in a decline in the populations of affected wild birds. Objective: To identify parasitic agents causing avian malaria in a wild bird population in Jardin (Antioquia, Colombia) through ...

Haemoproteus minutus is highly virulent for Australasian and South American parrots

Parasites & 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.

Blood Parasites and Wildlife: The Development of a Discipline

Integrative 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 ...
