Detection of Sarcocystis halieti in muscles of raptors from Lithuania [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceBackgroundThe genus Sarcocystis comprises a diverse group of apicomplexan parasites that infect reptiles, birds, and mammals. They are characterized by the formation of sarcocysts in the muscles of the intermediate host and the development of sporocysts ...

Exposure and survival of wild raptors during the 2022–2023 highly pathogenic influenza a virus outbreak [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe global outbreak of clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 highly pathogenic influenza A virus (HP H5N1) has had an unprecedented impact on wild birds including raptors, but long-term population impacts have not been addressed. To determine if raptors survive infections

Molecular Confirmation of Raptors from Spain as Definitive Hosts of Numerous Sarcocystis Species [PDF]
AnimalsMost raptors are flagship and umbrella species acting as ecosystem engineers. Research on avian parasites in raptors is therefore of interest. There is a lack of studies on Sarcocystis in naturally infected raptors.

Relative Conservation Status of Bird Orders With Special Attention to Raptors
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Birds, especially raptors, play important roles in ecosystems. We examine the International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) Red List to determine which orders of birds have proportionally more or fewer species listed as threatened or ...

2011 IEEE Information Theory Workshop, 2011 In this paper, an extension of raptor codes is introduced which keeps all the desirable properties of raptor codes, including the linear complexity of encoding and decoding per information bit, unchanged. The new design, however, improves the performance in terms of the reception rate.
