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: 10.1017/s0031182022000671
Abstract: Abstract Abstract Parasites can significantly influence the ecology, behaviour and physiology of their hosts sometimes with remarkable effects on their survivorship. However, endemic parasites or those not associated with obvious clinical disease have been partly… 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/vetsci9120681
Abstract: Simple Summary A total of 122 chickens (66 chickens during the breeding season and 56 chickens during the non-breeding season) from tropical Hainan Island, China were sampled to test for haemosporidian infections. We showed that… read more here.
