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.

Detection of avian haemosporidia from captive musophagid birds at a zoological garden in Japan [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 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

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 ...

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.
