Effects of Vector Density on Blood Parasite Spread and Health Consequences for Avian Hosts: An Experimental Epidemiology Blueprint

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In an experimental epidemiology setup, groups of pigeons were exposed to different numbers of infective malaria vectors. Vector number explained the speed of transmission, the final prevalence, and changes in host behavior. ABSTRACT Vector density plays a critical role in the transmission dynamics of vector‐borne diseases and thus in their health and ...

The potential for attractive toxic sugar baits to complement core malaria interventions strategies: the need for more evidence

Malaria Journal
Despite its success, the increased use of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) has contributed to the development of insecticide resistance in malaria vectors and shifts in biting patterns of the primary malaria vectors. The

Preparedness for malaria elimination in the wake of climate change in the State of Uttarakhand (India)

Journal of Vector Borne Diseases, 2019
Background & objectives: Climate change is an emerging issue particularly in the context of vector-borne diseases. A study was undertaken in Nainital and Almora districts of Uttarakhand to provide evidences of changing climatic conditions, abundance of ...

Unraveling Occurrence Patterns and Diversity of Avian Malaria Parasites in Iberian Obligate and Facultative Scavenger Birds

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Low overall haemosporidian occurrence (3.4%; 13/383). Unexpected high lineage diversity (10 new host–parasite interactions). Novel Leucocytozoon lineage (GYPBAR01) in all European vultures except the griffon vulture. Plasmodium relictum (lineage SGS1) in adult red kites.

Using a New Odour-Baited Device to Explore Options for Luring and Killing Outdoor-Biting Malaria Vectors: A Report on Design and Field Evaluation of the Mosquito Landing Box. [PDF]

, 2013
Mosquitoes that bite people outdoors can sustain malaria transmission even where effective indoor interventions such as bednets or indoor residual spraying are already widely used.

Genomic Content in Avian Haemosporidian Parasites Suggests Co‐Regulation of Apicoplast and Mitochondrial Nucleoids

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Apicoplast genomic content and mitochondrial genomic content were found to be strongly correlated (rho = 0.93) for infections going from low to high. Apicoplast and mitochondrial genomic content were deemed as more predictive factors of parasitemia for different infection intensities.
