Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 5, September 2025.Migratory behaviour in seasonal environments affects host–pathogen relationships, especially for vector‐transmitted blood parasites of the order Haemosporida. The common starling Sturnus vulgaris is a short‐distance migrant where the north‐eastern European breeding population spend the non‐breeding season in temperate mild western Europe.

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 422-430, September 2025.We determined morphological and molecularly two species of bat flies: T. parasiticus (Streblidae), and B. silvae (Nycteribiidae). We generated the first sequences for both species in the country for the cytochrome oxidase subunit I. We do recover monophyletic groups for both species, and we discussed the tree topology.

Revista Chilena de Entomología, 2020 El ectoparasitismo es un tipo de relación simbiótica negativa en la que el hospedador es afectado por la presencia del parásito. Aquí, reportamos por primera vez un caso de ectoparasitismo de la mosca piojo Ornithoctona erythrocephala en Elaenia albiceps,

The microbiota of hematophagous ectoparasites collected from migratory birds. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Arthropod vectors are responsible for the transmission of human pathogens worldwide. Several arthropod species are bird ectoparasites, however, no study to date has characterized their microbiota as a whole.

Sexual Dimorphism of Tarsal Attachment Devices and Their Relation to Mating in Coccinellidae
Journal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 4, April 2025.We explore the coevolution of male attachment devices and female elytral morphology in coccinellids. Specifically: (1) Disco‐setae are present in males of some species, located on the hairy pad which during mating hold on female elytra. (2) The area of male disco‐setae is extended when females have smooth elytra, and reduced when females have hairy ...

Cleaning Interactions Between Crows and Sika Deer: Implications for Tick‐Borne Disease Management
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.We found cleaning interactions between crows and sika deer to remove ectoparasites on deer in Japan. These interactions may contribute to reducing the risk of zoonotic disease. ABSTRACT Cleaning interactions between mammals and birds have been widely observed worldwide.

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 1, Page 55-65, January 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Changing biodiversity and environmental conditions may allow multi‐host pathogens to spread among host species and affect prevalence. There are several widely acknowledged theories about mechanisms that may influence variation in pathogen prevalence, including the controversially debated dilution effect and abundance‐occupancy relationship
