Polychromophilus spp. (Haemosporida: Plasmodiidae): First Molecular Detection in Bat Flies From Brazilian Bats

open access: yesIntegrative 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.

PLASMODIOSIS AND LEUCOCYTOZOONOSIS IN LAYER CHICKENS IN YOGYAKARTA, INDONESIA: THE ROLE OF ALTITUDE, TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY [PDF]

open access: yesAssiut Veterinary Medical Journal
Blood parasites, including Leucocytozoon sp. and Plasmodium sp., contribute to significant economic losses in layer chickens. However, their identification in layer chickens across the four districts of Yogyakarta remains understudied.

Avian blood parasites in the National Natural Park Chingaza: High Andes of Colombia

open access: yesEl Hornero, 2009
Birds from the high Andes in the National Natural Park Chingaza, Colombia, were surveyed for blood parasites in April 2002 and March 2003. Of 136 birds examined, representing 40 species of 14 families, 38 were infected with blood parasites. Parasites of

Experimental Evidence That Blood Parasite Infection Affects Incubation Patterns in a Cavity‐Nesting Songbird

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 178-191, January 2026.
Chronic blood parasite infections in wild birds can affect their incubation behavior. In pied flycatchers, females with reduced parasite infections incubated for longer than control females. Despite behavioral changes, no immediate effects on fitness were observed.

Blood parasite infections in a wild population of ravens (Corvus corax) in Bulgaria

open access: yesMalaria Journal, 2018
Background Blood parasites have been studied intensely in many families of avian hosts, but corvids, a particularly cosmopolitan family, remain underexplored.

A New Species of Plasmodium of the Subgenus Novyella Infecting White‐Shouldered Fire‐Eyes (Pyriglena leucoptera) (Aves: Thamnophilidae) in Brazil

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 192-202, January 2026.
South America has a remarkable genetic diversity of avian haemosporidians, yet only a few species have been described combining molecular and morphological data. This study introduces Plasmodium (Novyella) pyriglenae sp. nov., a new species infecting the white‐shouldered fire‐eye (Pyriglena leucoptera) in Brazil.

Bird Community Composition, Migration, and Environmental Factors Jointly Influence the Global Distribution of Avian Haemosporidian Lineages

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 60-68, January 2026.
Avian haemosporidians are widely distributed; however, the role of migratory and non‐migratory birds, as well as environmental conditions, is incompletely understood. A histogram of the number of parasite lineages per ecoregion shows the variation in avian haemosporidian richness across space.
