Migrations, ie the recurring, roundtrip movement of animals between distant and distinct
habitats, occur among diverse metazoan taxa. Although traditionally linked to avoidance of …

Background Migratory birds play an important part in the spread of parasites, with more or
less impact on resident birds. Previous studies focus on the prevalence of parasites, but …

Avian haemosporidians (Haemosporida) represent a globally distributed, species-rich
multiparasite-multihost host-parasite system. Each year, many of these parasite lineages are …

Avian blood parasites, from the genera Plasmodium, Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon,
are predicted to alter their range and prevalence as global temperatures change, and host …

Avian haemosporidian parasites and avian pox virus (APV) are well‐known pathogens for
their impact on avian populations, especially in oceanic islands where introduced …

Migratory birds spend several months in their breeding grounds in sympatry with local
resident birds and relatively shorter periods of time at stopover sites. During migration …

Animal movements, especially avian migration, can be a mechanism for the large-scale
dispersal and geographic range expansion of parasites. The host-parasite relationships …

Vector-borne parasites are important ecological drivers influencing life-history evolution in
birds by increasing host mortality or susceptibility to new diseases. Therefore, understanding …

This study aimed to identify the development of hepatitis B or C infection in diabetes patients
compared to those without and to elucidate factors associated with the prevalence of …

Avian haemosporidians are parasites with great capacity to spread to new environments
and new hosts, being considered a good model to host-parasite interactions studies. Here …
