Experimental Research on Avian Malaria

1963
Publisher Summary This chapter reviews recent advances made in the study of bird malaria. The area of research activities included the relationship between the sporozoite and the exoerythrocytic stage, the use of the chick embryo as a host, in vitro cultivation of both endogenous and exogenous stages, the physiology of erythrocytic stages, immunology,

The Occurrence of the Avian Malarias in Nature

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1935
Summary and Conclusions In the course of a survey which has so far covered a total of 652 birds, belonging to thirty-four different species, fifty-four cases of malaria have been found, a number of them mixed infections. The species of plasmodia represented have included the following, in the order of their frequency: Species Number of cases 1 ...

Genomic Advances in Avian Malaria Research

Trends in Parasitology, 2019
Haemosporidian parasites causing malaria-like diseases in birds are globally distributed and have been associated with reduced host fitness and mortality in susceptible bird species. This group of parasites has not only enabled a greater understanding of host specificity, virulence, and parasite dispersal, but has also been crucial in restructuring the

Recent Experimental Research on Avian Malaria

1968
Publisher Summary This chapter supplements the more extensive earlier experimental research on avian malaria . Two symposia have been published on malaria since the earlier review. Although these reports included work on many phases of malaria, a considerable portion of them dealt with avian malaria.

Engineering mosquito resistance to malaria parasites: the avian malaria model

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2002
Genetic approaches to controlling the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases are being developed to augment the available chemical control practices and environmental manipulation methods. Much progress has been made in laboratory-based research that seeks to develop antipathogen or antivector effector genes and methods for genetically manipulating ...

Serum Alterations in Avian Malaria*

The Journal of Protozoology, 1960
SYNOPSIS.A study by means of paper electrophoresis of the scrum.proteins and lipoproteins during the course of infection of chicks with Plasmodium lophurae, reveals a qualitative change in the gamma‐globulin and demonstrates: a significant crisis period depression of the albumin; no alteration of the alpha‐globulin or alpha‐lipoprotein; a significant ...

INTRAVASCULAR AGGLUTINATIONS IN AVIAN MALARIA

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1943
To the Editor:— In the January 23 issue ofThe Journal, under Current Comment, you reviewed an article by Dr. Arthur R. Lack on Intravascular Agglutinations in Avian Malaria. In your review you credit to the University of Chicago the original and fundamental observations on circulatory changes in simian malaria made by Dr.

Use of Avian Malarias (In Vivo)

1984
To estimate the full impact that research into avian malaria has played in the development of knowledge of the parasite, its metabolism, malaria chemotherapy, and immunity can now be more fully appreciated than in the past. Although there is not the same number of species of malaria parasite in birds as in mammals, the host range is wider and at least ...

Anopheles Mosquitoes and Avian Malaria

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine, 1931
Mayne (1) reported in 1928 finding oocysts of avian malaria (provisionally identified as belonging to the species P. praecox, Grassi and Feletti, 1890) in anopheles mosquitoes (A. subpictus), some experimentally fed on an infected sparrow, others caught in a room where malaria-infected birds were being kept.

Avian Hosts for Malaria Research

The Quarterly Review of Biology, 1941
E XPERIMENTS with avian malaria have contributed a great deal to our understanding of the life cycle of the human malaria parasite. In addition, the basic studies on chemotherapy of malaria have been carried out with birds, and have resulted in the discovery of the two best known synthetic drugs, plasmochin and atebrin.
