Complex interactions between bacteria and haemosporidia in coinfected hosts: An experiment

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Hosts are typically coinfected by multiple parasite species whose interactions might be synergetic or antagonistic, producing unpredictable physiological and pathological impacts on the host. This study shows the interaction between Plasmodium spp.

Integrating coalescent species delimitation with analysis of host specificity reveals extensive cryptic diversity despite minimal mitochondrial divergence in the malaria parasite genus Leucocytozoon

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018
Background Coalescent methods that use multi-locus sequence data are powerful tools for identifying putatively reproductively isolated lineages, though this approach has rarely been used for the study of microbial groups that are likely to harbor many ...

First case report of mortality in an egg‐incubating boreal owl (Aegolius funereus) due to combined Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and Sarcocystis spp. infections

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract Records of lethal consequences from bacterial and parasitic infections in wildlife are scarce, and the conditions under which pathogens cause mortality in infected animals remain poorly understood. We report the first documented case of a female boreal owl (Aegolius funereus) incubating eggs that died on the nest due to a co‐infection with ...

Haemosporidian parasites (Apicomplexa, Haemosporida) of breeding common starling Sturnus vulgaris in Latvia

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.

Blood parasites in vectors reveal a united blackfly community in the upper canopy

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background The behaviour of blood-sucking arthropods is a crucial determinant of blood protozoan distribution and hence of host-parasite coevolution, but it is very challenging to study in the wild.

Monitoring the Prevalence of Leucocytozoon sabrazesi in Southern China and Testing Tricyclic Compounds against Gametocytes.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Leucocytozoon parasites infect many species of avian hosts, including domestic chicken, and can inflict heavy economic loss on the poultry industry. Two major species of Leucocytozoon parasites have been reported in China, L. sabrazesi and L.

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.

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 ...
