Unresolved Haemosporidia of the Australian Skink, Egernia stokesii [PDF]
Parasitology ResearchAbstractThe Australian skink Egernia stokesii had been recognised as a host of two species of Plasmodium, Plasmodium mackerrasae and P. circularis; nevertheless, molecular data are available for only a single haemosporidian species of this host.

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,

Highly rearranged mitochondrial genome in Nycteria parasites (Haemosporidia) from bats [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016 Significance Understanding the evolutionary history of Haemosporidian parasites would help to understand human malaria evolution. Nevertheless, Haemosporidia parasite diversity in bats remains largely unstudied. In addition, some cases of unsuccessful PCR amplification of cytochrome b

Detection of avian haemosporidia from captive musophagid birds at a zoological garden in Japan. [PDF]
J Vet Med Sci, 2019 One captive musophagid bird at a zoological garden in Japan showed clinical symptoms and was found to be infected with avian haemosporidia. We subsequently collected blood from all musophagid birds kept in the garden and examined for avian haemosporidia using both microscopic and molecular examination. Only Haemoproteus gametocytes were observed in the

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 ...

Avian haemosporidian parasites in captive and free-ranging, wild birds from zoological institutions in Switzerland: Molecular characterization and clinical importance [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2023 Avian haemosporidian parasites are widespread and infect birds from a broad variety of avian families with diverse consequences ranging from subclinical infections to severe and fatal disease. This study aimed to determine the occurrence and diversity of

Detection of Malaria Parasites and Other Haemosporidia in Migratory and Native Birds in Mazandaran and Golestan Provinces, Iran [PDF]
Journal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases, 2022 Background: A variety of haemoprotozoa including Plasmodium, Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon cause infections in birds and are transmitted by some known vectors. These parasites cause anemia, low appetite, weakness and ultimately death in birds.

Weak association of Usutu virus and haemosporidian infection in birds collected in Germany [PDF]
One HealthThe Usutu Virus (USUV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus originated in Africa. The virus circulates in Germany since 2010. It is primarily transmitted and maintained in the natural cycle by Culex mosquitoes and primarily affects birds, particularly Eurasian

Bird community effects on avian malaria infections [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 In community assembly processes, interspecific interactions play an important role in shaping community diversity, especially at the local scale. Changes in species richness or abundance can modify local infectious disease dynamics, either reducing or ...
