Integrative 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.

Coamplification of Leucocytozoon by PCR diagnostic tests for avian malaria: a cautionary note.
, 2006 A number of PCR assays have now been described for detecting species of the avian malaria parasites Plasmodium and Haemoproteus from blood samples.

Integrative 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.

Leucocytozoon and methods of its detection in raptors [PDF]
, 2018 The genus Leucocytozoon is a bird parasite. Its hosts constitute usually of representatives of the Falconiformes group and hawks (Accipitridae). The vector of this parasite are blackflies (family Simuliidae).

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 10, Page 1908-1921, October 2025.Avian blood parasites are widespread and often considered benign, yet mounting evidence suggests they subtly impair host traits. This meta‐analysis is timely and necessary to quantify their true impact across systems, challenging assumptions and highlighting overlooked consequences for fitness and population dynamics. Abstract Stressors that subtly yet

Prevalence of Leucocytozoon spp, in the endangered yellow-eyed penguin Megadyptes antipodes
, 2010 SUMMARYYellow-eyed penguins on Stewart Island were identified with a Leucocytozoon spp. of a novel lineage in association with a high regional incidence of chick mortality (n=32, 100% mortality) during the November 2006 to January 2007 breeding season ...

Malaria Journal, 2018 Background Malaria parasites and related haemosporidian parasites are widespread and may cause severe diseases in birds. These pathogens should be considered in projects aiming breeding of birds for purposes of sustained ex situ conservation.

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.

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 ...
