Parasite prevalence corresponds to host life history in a diverse assemblage of afrotropical birds and haemosporidian parasites.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Avian host life history traits have been hypothesized to predict rates of infection by haemosporidian parasites. Using molecular techniques, we tested this hypothesis for parasites from three haemosporidian genera (Plasmodium, Haemoproteus, and ...

Prevalence and diversity of avian blood parasites in a resident northern passerine

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Climate-related changes are expected to influence the prevalence and distribution of vector-borne haemosporidian parasites at northern latitudes, although baseline information about resident birds is still lacking.

New host records of parasites in the Malayan red jungle fowl, Gallus gallus spadiceus [PDF]

, 1993
Thirty species of parasites were recovered from seven adult male Malayan red jungle fowls Gallus gallus spadiceus from Ulu Langat, Selangor, Malaysia. Fifteen species of the parasites are newly recorded for this host; they are Pseudolynchia canariensis ...

Effects of migratory status and habitat on the prevalence and intensity of infection by haemoparasites in passerines in eastern Spain [PDF]

, 2013
The Iberian peninsula is a suitable place to study the effects of migratory condition on the prevalence of blood parasites in avian communities as resident, local populations cohabit with migratory species and with abundant vector populations.

The epidemiology underlying age-related avian malaria infection in a long-lived host: the mute swan Cygnus olor [PDF]

Quantifying the factors that predict parasite outbreak and persistence is a major challenge for both applied and fundamental biology. Key to understanding parasite prevalence and disease outbreaks is determining at what age individuals show signs of ...

Assemblages of ectoparasites and haemoparasites in the Gallus gallus complex in Selangor, Malaysia. [PDF]

, 2010
Parasites are known to be host-specific through adaptive radiation and tandem evolution with their hosts. However, selective pressures like rapid environmental changes and the adaptation of the hosts to novel habitats often influence the assemblages of

Lineage-specific tissue distribution and high prevalence of haemosporidian parasites in hooded crows (Corvus cornix) from northwestern Italy

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Haemosporidian parasites of the genera Plasmodium, Haemoproteus, and Leucocytozoon are widespread vector-borne pathogens of birds, yet their tissue distribution and lineage diversity remain poorly understood in many host species.
