Characterization of Haemoproteus (Haemoproteus) columbae genome: as a tool for evolutionary study of Haemosporida order [PDF]

, 2019
Research on malaria has focused during a long time on the parasites that infect humans.However, it is also true that most information about the biology of this parasites comes from experimental models.

Integrating coalescent species delimitation with analysis of host specificity reveals extensive cryptic diversity despite minimal mitochondrial divergence in the malaria parasite genus Leucocytozoon

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018
Background Coalescent methods that use multi-locus sequence data are powerful tools for identifying putatively reproductively isolated lineages, though this approach has rarely been used for the study of microbial groups that are likely to harbor many ...

Experimental manipulation of nest temperature and relative humidity reduces ectoparasites and affects body condition of Blue Tits (Cyanistes caeruleus)

Ibis, Volume 167, Issue 1, Page 212-224, January 2025.
Many models predict changes in the distribution and incidence of diseases associated with climate change. However, studies exploring the effect of microclimatic changes on host–parasite relationships are scarce. In this study, we increased temperature or humidity in Eurasian Blue Tit Cyanistes caeruleus nestboxes during the breeding season, to analyse ...

Analytic Approaches in Genomic Epidemiological Studies of Parasitic Protozoa

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) plays an important role in the advanced characterization of pathogen transmission and is widely used in studies of major bacterial and viral diseases. Although protozoan parasites cause serious diseases in humans and animals, WGS data on them are relatively scarce due to the large genomes and lack of cultivation techniques

Unraveling the host range of Plasmodium huffi: morphological, histopathological and molecular characterization in red-legged seriemas from Brazil

Parasitology
Avian Plasmodium parasites can be pathogenic to their vertebrate hosts. Although cases of anaemia are frequently reported in parasitized birds, the potential damage caused by the parasite during the exoerythrocytic reproduction phase remains poorly ...

Concepts in Animal Parasitology, Chapter 10: Haemosporida (Order): The “Malaria Parasites” [Protozoa, Apicomplexa] [PDF]

An overview of the order Haemosporida, also referred to as the malaria parasites, including history of the knowledge of malaria, general life cycle, diversity of the group, classification, and phylogenetic relationships. Covers malaria parasites of birds,

Data from: The polyphyly of Plasmodium: comprehensive phylogenetic analyses of the malaria parasites (order Haemosporida) reveal widespread taxonomic conflict

, 2018
The evolutionary relationships among the apicomplexan blood pathogens known as the malaria parasites (order Haemosporida), some of which infect nearly 200 million humans each year, has remained a vexing phylogenetic problem due to limitations in taxon ...

Molekularphylogenetische Analysen der Ecdysozoa und Haemosporida

, 2017
The advent of molecular phylogenetics has revolutionized our understanding of the tree of life. In my PhD thesis, I have aimed to elucidate various aspects of the deep phylogeny of Ecdysozoa and Haemosporida employing classical PCR-based approaches, next-

Under the light: high prevalence of haemoparasites in lizards (Reptilia: Squamata) from Central Amazonia revealed by microscopy [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
Blood samples from 330 lizards of 19 species were collected to investigate the occurrence of haemoparasites. Samplings were performed in areas of upland (terra-firme) forest adjacent to Manaus municipality, Amazonas, Brazil. Blood parasites were detected
