DETECTION OF SPLENDIDOFILARIA SP. (ONCHOCERCIDAE:SPLENDIDOFILARIINAE) MICROFILARIA WITHIN ALASKAN GROUND-DWELLING BIRDS IN THE GROUSE SUBFAMILY TETRAONINAE USING TAQMAN PROBE-BASED REAL-TIME PCR

Stephen E. Greiman et al.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of filarial infections in bird populations in Alaska using real-time PCR technology. The overall infection rate was found to be 9.5% across different species, and microfilarial infections were observed in most regions of Alaska.

Bird habitat preferences drive hemoparasite infection in the Neotropical region

Gabriel Massaccesi De La Torre et al.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of Neotropical bird foraging strata and habitat preferences on blood parasite infection, finding different correlations between parasite species and host ecological traits, with a phylogenetic signal. The research provided a useful framework to identify the relationship between environments and blood parasite infection and highlighted potential areas susceptible to infection due to land conversion and climate change.

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.

Molecular and morphological characterization of three new species of avian Onchocercidae (Nematoda) with emphasis on circulating microfilariae

Rasa Binkiene et al.

Summary: This study examined blood samples from 206 birds belonging to the genera Acrocephalus and Sylvia, identifying a 2.9% prevalence of microfilariae and new parasite species. Morphological and phylogenetic analyses showed that parasites of different genera can be readily distinguished based on the morphology of their microfilariae.

Description and Molecular Characterization of Two Species of Avian Blood Parasites, with Remarks on Circadian Rhythms of Avian Haematozoa Infections

Carolina Romeiro Fernandes Chagas et al.

Summary: The study investigated blood parasite infections in Eurasian blackbird and Song thrush, identifying a new Lankesterella species and molecularly characterizing Splendidofilaria mavis. Different blood parasite species showed varied circadian rhythms of parasitemia peaks, suggesting potential impacts on disease transmission and host-parasite interactions.

Complete Life Cycle of Trypanosoma thomasbancrofti, an Avian Trypanosome Transmitted by Culicine Mosquitoes

Magdalena Fialova et al.

Summary: Avian trypanosomes are common protozoan parasites of birds with incomplete knowledge on their life cycles and vectors. This study confirmed the experimental transmission of T. thomasbancrofti to birds by culicine mosquitoes, suggesting that the prediuresis might be an effective mode of trypanosome transmission. The study discussed the prevalence of T. thomasbancrofti in vectors in nature and in avian populations.
