DOI: 10.1007/s00436-020-06646-y
Abstract: In temperate regions, some avian haemosporidian parasites have evolved seasonal transmission strategies, with chronic infections relapsing during spring and transmission peaking during the hosts’ breeding season. Because lineages with seasonal transmission strategies are unlikely to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.actatropica.2019.105070
Abstract: Avian malaria is a widespread infection caused by parasites from the Order Haemosporida. Indeed, Neotropical swifts are interesting models for host-parasite coevolution studies due to their unique life history that may allow them to escape… 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: 10.1186/s12936-017-1746-7
Abstract: BackgroundAvian malaria parasites (Plasmodium spp.) and related haemosporidians (Haemosporida) are responsible for diseases which can be severe and even lethal in avian hosts. These parasites cause not only blood pathology, but also damage various organs… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/pathogens10060645
Abstract: Avian haemosporidians are widespread and diverse and are classified in the genera Plasmodium, Haemoproteus, Leucocytozoon, and Fallisia. These species are known to cause haemosporidiosis and decreased fitness of their hosts. Despite the high diversity of… read more here.
