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.

Prevalence of Avian Haemosporidia Among Injured Wild Birds in Tokyo and Environs, Japan
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2017 Avian haemosporidia have been reported in various birds of Japan, which is part of the East Asian-Australian flyway and is an important stopover site for migratory birds potentially carrying new pathogens from other areas.

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.

Host specificity and co-speciation in avian haemosporidia in the Western Cape, South Africa. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Host and pathogen ecology are often closely linked, with evolutionary processes often leading to the development of host specificity traits in some pathogens.

Occurrence and diversity of avian haemosporidia in Afrotropical landbirds
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2019 Avian haemosporidian infections are widespread and can result in the decline of wild bird populations or in some cases contribute to extinction of species.

Prevalence and Transmission Cycle of Avian Pathogens in the Isolated Oceanic Islands of Japan [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionAvian haemosporidian parasites and avian pox virus (APV) are well‐known pathogens for their impact on avian populations, especially in oceanic islands where introduced pathogens show strong virulence for endemic and naïve birds.

A Widespread Survey of Avian Haemosporidia in Deceased Wild Birds of Japan: The Hidden Value of Personally Collected Samples [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 2022 Widespread surveys of avian haemosporidia (Plasmodium, Haemoproteus, and Leucocytozoon) in wild birds have substantially advanced information on the haemosporidian fauna of Japan.

Genetic variation of avian malaria in the tropical Andes: a relationship with the spatial distribution of hosts [PDF]
Malaria Journal, 2019 Background Avian haemosporidia are obligate blood parasites with an ample range of hosts worldwide. To understand how host communities may influence the diversity of parasites of the neotropics, the spatial genetic variation of avian Plasmodium ...
