Contaminations contaminate common databases

Staffan Bensch et al.

Summary: The PCR method is powerful but may lead to PCR contamination and erroneous conclusions. This paper evaluates cases of avian haemosporidian parasites to shed light on steps in the work process that could lead to PCR contaminations. Increasing awareness of the issue can aid in developing procedures to minimize these occurrences, which should be applicable to all PCR-based identifications.

Effects of blood parasite infections on spatiotemporal migration patterns and activity budgets in a long-distance migratory passerine

Tamara Emmenegger et al.

Summary: The study found that blood parasite infections can result in shorter migration distances and delayed onset of autumn migration, particularly for birds with Plasmodium and mixed-genus infections. Infected birds had prolonged migratory flight bout durations, but shorter resting times, indicating that initial delays seemed to be compensated for.

A citizen science-based survey of avian mortality focusing on haemosporidian infections in wild passerine birds

Tanja Himmel et al.

Summary: The study investigated avian mortality in Austria and found a 31% infection rate of haemosporidian parasites in birds, with finches and tits being the most affected species. Most infected birds showed low parasite burdens in the blood and tissues, ruling out a significant contribution of haemosporidian infections to morbidity or death of the examined birds.

First records of prevalence and diversity of avian haemosporidia in snipe species (genus Gallinago) of Japan

Mizue Inumaru et al.

Summary: Migratory birds, including Gallinago snipes, play an important role in the transmission of avian haemosporidia. This study found a high overall prevalence of avian haemosporidia in Gallinago snipe species in Japan, with variations in prevalence among different species likely linked to ecological factors. The detection of six lineages from juveniles suggests the transmission of parasites between breeding and sampling areas.
