Avian haemosporidian parasites of accipitriform raptors

Josef Harl et al.

Summary: This study performed molecular genetic screening and chromogenic in situ hybridization on accipitriform raptors to analyze haemosporidian parasites. The results revealed that 44% of raptors from Austria and Bosnia-Herzegovina were infected with haemosporidian parasites. Additionally, multiple lineages of these parasites were found in accipitriform birds globally, with most of the Plasmodium lineages detected in birds of other orders.

Keys to the avian Haemoproteus parasites (Haemosporida, Haemoproteidae)

Gediminas Valkiunas et al.

Summary: This study aimed to develop comprehensive keys for the identification of described avian Haemoproteus species using morphological features of their blood stages. It analyzed and compared the morphological diagnostic features of gametocytes of all described Haemoproteus species and developed illustrated keys for their identification. The study also provided information about the molecular characterization of Haemoproteus parasites. The results showed that 177 described avian Haemoproteus species can be distinguished and identified in blood films using morphological characters of their gametocytes and host cells.

Year-round spatial distribution and migration phenology of a rapidly declining trans-Saharan migrant-evidence of winter movements and breeding site fidelity in European turtle doves

Yvonne R. Schumm et al.

Summary: Populations of migratory bird species have been declining for several decades, making it challenging to understand the causal mechanisms due to broad geographic ranges and annual cycle stages. Identifying migration routes, wintering grounds, and stopover sites is crucial for conservation strategies. Research on European turtle doves showed multiple wintering sites, differences in environment parameters between breeding and wintering grounds, and an increase in home range with more agricultural areas.

Experimental study of newly described avian malaria parasite Plasmodium (Novyella) collidatum n. sp., genetic lineage pFANTAIL01 obtained from South Asian migrant bird

Elena Platonova et al.

Summary: In this study, a new species of tropical Plasmodium parasite was isolated from a naturally infected long-distance migrant bird, showing high parasitaemia and mortality rate in experimentally infected siskins. The parasite was found in internal organs of deceased birds but did not develop in mosquitoes. This parasite may pose a threat to European birds if transmission occurs in temperate zones.

Description of Haemoproteus asymmetricus n. sp. (Haemoproteidae), with remarks on predictability of the DNA haplotype networks in haemosporidian parasite taxonomy research

Gediminas Valkiunas et al.

Summary: This study utilized DNA haplotype networks to investigate species classification of Haemoproteus, leading to the discovery of a new parasite species. DNA haplotype networks are recommended as a helpful methodology for speeding up practical work on parasite species taxonomy and pathogen biodiversity._phylogenetic analysis and microscopy approaches are suggested for a better understanding of haemosporidian parasite biology.
