Biological invasions dramatically affect the distribution, abundance and reproduction of
many native species. Because of these ecological effects, exotic species can also influence …

Avian malaria is a worldwide mosquito‐borne disease caused by Plasmodium parasites.
These parasites occur in many avian species but primarily affect passerine birds that have …

Many bird species host several lineages of apicomplexan blood parasites (Protista spp.,
Haemosporida spp.), some of which are shared across different host species. To understand …

Avian malaria parasites (Plasmodium) occur commonly in wild birds and are an increasingly
popular model system for understanding host–parasite co‐evolution. However, whether …

We evaluated the effects of Plasmodium relictum (lineage P-SGS1), which is a host
generalist, to five species of passerine birds. Light infection of P. relictum was isolated from a …

1. We have used molecular methods to unravel a remarkable diversity of parasite lineages
in a long-term population study of great reed warblers Acrocephalus arundinaceus that was …

More than half of the Hawaiian honeycreepers (Drepanidinae) known from historical records
are now extinct. Introduced mosquito-borne disease, in particular the avian malaria …

We describe a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay that detects avian malarial infection
across divergent host species and parasite lineages representing both Plasmodium spp …

Malaria parasites are a major cause of human mortality in tropical countries and a potential
threat for wildlife, as witnessed by the malaria‐induced extinction of naive Hawaiian …

We studied the organization and temporal stability of an assemblage of malaria parasites
(genera Plasmodium and Haemoproteus) and their passerine avian hosts in a forested …
