Prevalence and Genetic Diversity of Avian Haemosporidian Parasites in Southern Iran
Pathogens, 2021 Avian haemosporidians are widespread and diverse and are classified in the genera Plasmodium, Haemoproteus, Leucocytozoon, and Fallisia. These species are known to cause haemosporidiosis and decreased fitness of their hosts. Despite the high diversity of

Host–parasite oxidative arms race: who will win?
Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.Avian haemosporidian parasites are globally widespread with a broad repertoire of hosts. When infected, the host can either reduce (resistance) and/or limit the severity of parasitaemia (tolerance). Oxidative stress plays a pivotal role in the host's resistance and tolerance, as well as its detrimental endpoints.

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.Microfilariae contribute to a higher energetic demand that could lead to oxidative damage and reduce hosts' fitness. Yet reports about the energy status and oxidative stress‐defense mechanisms of infected wild birds are rarely documented. We investigated the relationship between microfilariae and the energy status and oxidative damage‐defense ...

WIMANET: The Power of a Network in Wildlife Malaria Research
Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 11-16, January 2026.The Wildlife Malaria Network (WIMANET) is an EU‐COST funded global network of researchers and stakeholders interested in wildlife malaria and related haemosporidian parasites. In this paper, we review WIMANET's activities to date. We hope this encourages new members to join the network and motivates both new and existing members to participate in its ...

Blood parasite infections in a wild population of ravens (Corvus corax) in Bulgaria
Malaria Journal, 2018 Background Blood parasites have been studied intensely in many families of avian hosts, but corvids, a particularly cosmopolitan family, remain underexplored.

Is it best on the nest? Effects of avian life-history on haemosporidian parasitism
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2020 Infectious diseases vary in prevalence and pathology among host species. Species may differ in prevalence of infection due to varying exposure and susceptibility to disease agents throughout their lifetime, which may be attributable to underlying ...

Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 137-150, January 2026.This study identifies Polychromophilus sp. in blood‐feeding flies (Basilia speiseri and Basilia lindolphoi) from Myotis nigricans bats in Brazil, marking the first molecular detection of the parasite in an insect vector in this country. Two haplotypes were identified, both within the Polychromophilus murinus group.
