Keys to the avian malaria parasites [PDF]
Malaria Journal, 2018 Background Malaria parasites (genus Plasmodium) are widespread in birds. These pathogens cause pathology of blood and various organs, often resulting in severe avian malaria. Numerous recent studies have reported DNA sequences of avian malaria parasites,

Avian Malaria Parasites Modulate Gut Microbiome Assembly in Canaries
Microorganisms, 2023 Rodent and human malaria parasites cause dysbiosis in the host gut microbiome, but whether Plasmodium species affecting birds cause dysbiosis in their hosts is currently unknown.
