Total Immunoglobulin Y Detection in Avian Malaria-infected Domestic Birds from Uganda [PDF]
, 2018 Background and Aim: The use of microscopy-based and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods have offered considerable insights in detecting avian blood malaria infection in domestic and wild birds.

Haemoproteosis and avian malaria in Columbidae and Corvidae from Iran
Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2021 Avian malaria (Plasmodium) and related genera (Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon) are diverse and widespread parasites. Despite the extent of knowledge on avian haemosporidian parasites, information about domestic and wild bird's blood parasites is overall ...

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2021 Animal movements, especially avian migration, can be a mechanism for the large-scale dispersal and geographic range expansion of parasites. The host-parasite relationships among birds during migration have yet to be fully explored.

Assessing Risk Thresholds in Controlled Human Infection Models (CHIM)
Bioethics, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 519-529, June 2026.ABSTRACT Controlled Human Infection Models (CHIMs) are a type of clinical trial involving deliberately exposing human volunteers to an infectious agent. Compared to studies of natural infection, CHIMs offers distinctive benefits, from the ability to study presymptomatic infection to a direct assessment of the efficacy of vaccines and therapeutics in a ...

Population structure of avian malaria parasites
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 AbstractThe geographic distribution of genetic diversity in malaria parasite populations (Apicomplexa: Haemosporida) presumably influences local patterns of virulence and the evolution of host‐resistance, but little is known about population genetic structure in these parasites. We assess the distribution of genetic diversity in the partial Domain I of

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 422-440, June 2026.The highlands of eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) are home to critically endangered eastern gorillas (Gorilla beringei). Climate change could increase the abundance and distribution of Culicoides‐borne diseases. We utilized morphological and molecular techniques to identify Culicoides spp.

The fitness of African malaria vectors in the presence and limitation of host behaviour [PDF]
, 2012 <p>Background Host responses are important sources of selection upon the host species range of ectoparasites and phytophagous insects. However little is known about the role of host responses in defining the host species range of malaria vectors.
