Multiple host-switching of Haemosporidia parasites in bats [PDF]
Malaria Journal, 2007 Background There have been reported cases of host-switching in avian and lizard species of Plasmodium (Apicomplexa, Haemosporidia), as well as in those infecting different primate species.

Complex interactions between bacteria and haemosporidia in coinfected hosts: An experiment [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Hosts are typically coinfected by multiple parasite species whose interactions might be synergetic or antagonistic, producing unpredictable physiological and pathological impacts on the host. This study shows the interaction between Plasmodium spp.

First report of haemosporidia and associated risk factors in red junglefowl (Gallus gallus) in China [PDF]
Parasites and Vectors, 2022 Background Avian haemosporidia infect both domestic and wild birds, causing anemia, acute tissue degeneration, and depopulation in wild birds. Poultry and wild birds have been reported as common reservoirs of haemosporidia, but limited information is ...

First records of prevalence and diversity of avian haemosporidia in snipe species (genus Gallinago) of Japan [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2021 Migratory birds are important carriers of pathogens such as viruses, bacteria and protozoa. Avian haemosporidia have been detected from many wild birds of Japan, but the infection status of migratory birds and transmission area are still largely unknown.

Contrasting the seasonal and elevational prevalence of generalist avian haemosporidia in co‐occurring host species [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Understanding the ecology and evolution of parasites is contingent on identifying the selection pressures they face across their infection landscape. Such a task is made challenging by the fact that these pressures will likely vary across time and space,

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

Does haemosporidian infection affect hematological and biochemical profiles of the endangered Black-fronted piping-guan (Aburria jacutinga)? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2013 Infectious diseases can cause deleterious effects on bird species, leading to population decline and extinction. Haemosporidia can be recognized by their negative effects on host fitness, including reproductive success and immune responses. In captivity,

Surveillance of avian malaria and related haemoparasites in common terns (Sterna hirundo) on the Atlantic coast of South America [PDF]
Parasitology, 2023 Haemosporidia (Apicomplexa, Haemosporida) are protozoa that infect vertebrate blood cells and are transmitted by vectors. Among vertebrates, birds possess the greatest diversity of haemosporidia, historically placed in 3 genera: Haemoproteus ...

Haemosporidian Parasites of White-Breasted Waterhens (Amaurornis phoenicurus), with a Report and Molecular Characterization of Haemoproteus gallinulae in Thailand [PDF]
Animals, 2023 Haemosporidian parasites are vector-borne parasites infecting terrestrial vertebrates as well as avian species, such as the White-breasted Waterhen, a Gruiformes waterbird found in lowlands near wetlands and distributed throughout Thailand.
