Abstract: Smallholder farmers in most of the rural areas in African countries rear non-descript village chickens for petty cash, food provision and for performing rituals. Village chicken production systems are regarded as low input- low output… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.actatropica.2020.105465
Abstract: Avian haemosporidians (Haemosporida) represent a globally distributed, species-rich multiparasite-multihost host-parasite system. Each year, numerous these parasite lineages are carried between temperate and tropical regions by migratory birds. While several factors can limit the transmission of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0031182018002081
Abstract: Abstract Despite intensive research during the last few decades, understanding of ecological and physiological factors related to haemosporidian infections in birds is still fragmentary. Since more model organisms are needed in order to understand these… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0206493
Abstract: Habitat loss has the potential to alter vertebrate host populations and their interactions with parasites. Theory predicts a decrease in parasite diversity due to the loss of hosts in such contexts. However, habitat loss could… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/d13020075
Abstract: The Western Palearctic is one of the most investigated regions for avian haemosporidian parasites (Haemoproteus, Plasmodium and Leucocytozoon), yet geographic gaps in our regional knowledge remain. Here, we report the first haemosporidian screening of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/d16020121
Abstract: Haemosporidians are a group of vector-borne parasites belonging to the order Haemosporida. These parasites infect avian hosts and require blood-sucking insects (Diptera) for transmission. The occurrence and diversity of haemosporidian parasites are shaped primarily by… read more here.
