Increase of avian Plasmodium circumflexum prevalence, but not of other malaria parasites and related haemosporidians in northern Europe during the past 40 years

Malaria Journal, 2022
Background Malaria is a health problem not only in human and veterinary medicine, but also in wildlife. Several theoretical studies have suggested that avian malaria transmission might be increasing in Europe.

Galactose‐α‐1,3‐galactose‐presenting bacterial families are associated with resistance to experimental avian malaria infection

Journal of Avian Biology
The gut microbiome can contribute to host health through defense against pathogens. However, links between the host gut microbiome and resistance to infection have been primarily investigated in humans and lab‐bred rodents, so we do not know to what ...

Hemoglobin Digestion Genes Are Conserved in Lizard‐Infective Plasmodium Species With Different Host Cellular Niches [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Despite their evolutionary relatedness to malaria parasites that infect humans, wildlife Plasmodium—particularly those that infect birds and lizards—are understudied, leaving their vast genetic diversity to be explored. By assembling parasite transcriptomes from Plasmodium‐infected lizard blood, we provide the first evidence that lizard‐infective ...

A Literature Review on the Role of the Invasive Aedes albopictus in the Transmission of Avian Malaria Parasites

Animals
The Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) is an invasive mosquito species with a global distribution. This species has populations established in most continents, being considered one of the 100 most dangerous invasive species.

Avian haemosporidian diversity and transmission across birds and mosquitoes in Botswana [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Avian malaria parasites circulate globally among birds and their dipteran vectors, yet their diversity and transmission dynamics remain poorly characterised in sub-Saharan Africa.

Ecology and conservation biology of avian malaria [PDF]

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2012
Avian malaria is a worldwide mosquito‐borne disease caused byPlasmodiumparasites. These parasites occur in many avian species but primarily affect passerine birds that have not evolved with the parasite. Host pathogenicity, fitness, and population impacts are poorly understood.

Molecular Prevalence and Haematological Assessments of Avian Malaria in Wild Raptors of Thailand

Birds
Raptors (Accipitriformes, Falconiformes and Strigiformes) are important for ecological niches as bioindicators and an apex predator; however, their global populations have continuously decreased due to human activities, habitat loss and contagious ...

Avian malaria in birds from Atlantic Rainforest: a record of Plasmodium cathemerium and other novel lineages [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
Parasitic diseases, like avian malaria, play a relevant impact on wild avifauna around the world, putting a threat to biodiversity, principally in endemic zones.

Classification for avian malaria parasite Plasmodium gallinaceum blood stages by using deep convolutional neural networks

Scientific Reports, 2021
The infection of an avian malaria parasite (Plasmodium gallinaceum) in domestic chickens presents a major threat to the poultry industry because it causes economic loss in both the quality and quantity of meat and egg production. Computer-aided diagnosis

Identifying avian malaria vectors: sampling methods influence outcomes [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background The role of vectors in the transmission of avian malaria parasites is currently understudied. Many studies that investigate parasite-vector relationships use limited trapping techniques and/or identify potential competent vectors in the field ...
