Searching for putative avian malaria vectors in a Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest in Brazil

Parasites & Vectors, 2016
Background Haemosporidian parasites of the genera Plasmodium and Haemoproteus can have detrimental effects on individual birds and populations. Despite recent investigations into the distribution and richness of these parasites and their vertebrate hosts,

A new protocol for absolute quantification of haemosporidian parasites in raptors and comparison with current assays

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Accurate quantification of infection intensity is essential to estimate infection patterns of avian haemosporidian parasites in order to understand the evolution of host-parasite associations.

A Review of Some Parasite Diseases of African Fish Gut Lumen Protozoa, Coccidioses, Cryptosporidium Infections [PDF]

, 2012
: A review of some parasite diseases of African fish: Gut lumen protozoa, coccidioses, cryptosporidium infections, haemoprotozoa, haemosporidia was carried out from some existing literature to provide fish culturists and the public sector information on ...

Host community heterogeneity and the expression of host specificity in avian haemosporidia in the Western Cape, South Africa

, 2018
Similar patterns of parasite prevalence in animal communities may be driven by a range of different mechanisms. The influences of host heterogeneity and host–parasite interactions in host community assemblages are poorly understood.

Haemoprotozoa: Making biological sense of molecular phylogenies

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2017
A range of protistan parasites occur in the blood of vertebrates and are transmitted by haematophagous invertebrate vectors. Some 48 genera are recognized in bood primarily on the basis of parasite morphology and host specificity; including extracellular

Wildlife health risk analysis for conservation translocation: A scalable approach illustrated for wader population restoration

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2025.
We present a methodological framework for health risk analysis (disease risk analysis) for conservation translocation that enables the process to be scaled and adapted to the project context. We illustrate its application to two wader (shorebird) population restoration projects with differing translocation plans.

Avian haemosporidia: Prevalence, host specificity, vectors [PDF]

, 2019
Haemosporidia are a group of protozoan parasites that shifts between vertebrates and insect vectors during a complicated life cycle. In this thesis I have focused on two of the genera infecting birds, Plasmodium and Haemoproteus (sometimes together ...

Data from: Importance of infection of haemosporidia blood parasites during different life history stages for long-term reproductive fitness of collared flycatchers

, 2019
The interaction between birds and haemosporidia blood parasites is a well-used system in the study of parasite biology. However where, when and how parasites are transmitted is often unclear and defining parasite transmission dynamics is essential ...

Effects of urban life on the gut microbiota and the susceptibility to avian malaria infection in a population of the house sparrow Passer domesticus

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 3, May 2025.
Life in urban areas may alter the gut microbiota and host physiology, leading to a higher susceptibility to pathogens. In contrast, specific members of the gut microbiota community have been shown to mitigate the intensity of malaria infection. House sparrows, living in close proximity to humans, are exposed to a unique environment with human‐shaped ...

Blood Parasites in Endangered Wildlife-Trypanosomes Discovered during a Survey of Haemoprotozoa from the Tasmanian Devil

Pathogens, 2020
The impact of emerging infectious diseases is increasingly recognised as a major threat to wildlife. Wild populations of the endangered Tasmanian devil, Sarcophilus harrisii, are experiencing devastating losses from a novel transmissible cancer, devil ...
