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.

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.

Diversity, distribution, and methodological considerations of haemosporidian infections among Galliformes in Alaska [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2023 Using samples spanning 10-degrees of latitude in Alaska, we provide the first comparative assessment of avian haemosporidia distribution of Arctic Alaska with subarctic host populations for four species of grouse and three species of ptarmigan ...

Avian disease surveillance on the island of San Cristóbal, Galápagos [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Endemic island species face unprecedented threats, with many populations in decline or at risk of extinction. One important threat is the introduction of novel and potentially devastating diseases, made more pressing due to accelerating global ...

Parasite detection and quantification in avian blood is dependent on storage medium and duration [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Studies of parasites in wild animal populations often rely on molecular methods to both detect and quantify infections. However, method accuracy is likely to be influenced by the sampling approach taken prior to nucleic acid extraction.

Is it best on the nest? Effects of avian life-history on haemosporidian parasitism [PDF]
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 ...

Diversity and Host Specificity of Avian Haemosporidians in an Afrotropical Conservation Region [PDF]
AnimalsAfrotropical regions have high bird diversity, yet few studies have attempted to unravel the prevalence of avian haemosporidia in conservation areas. The diversity and host specificity of parasites in biodiversity hotspots is crucial to understanding ...

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 ...
