Abstract Species of Haemoproteus (Haemosporida, Haemoproteidae) are widespread and
often prevalent blood parasites of birds all over the word. They are particularly diverse in …

Pathogen-induced host phenotypic changes are widespread phenomena that can
dramatically influence host–vector interactions. Enhanced vector attraction to infected hosts …

Abstract Species Distribution Models (SDMs) are vital tools for predicting species
occurrences and are used in many practical tasks including conservation and biodiversity …

Tracing the temporal dynamics of pathogens is crucial for developing strategies to detect
and limit disease emergence. Canine parvovirus (CPV-2) is an enteric virus causing …

The transmission of vector-borne protozoa such as parasites of the Order Haemosporida is
dependent on both biotic and abiotic factors such as host life history traits and environmental …

Background Schistosomiasis and infection by soil-transmitted helminths are some of the
world's most prevalent neglected tropical diseases. Infection by more than one parasite (co …

Simple Summary Haemoproteus parasites are one of the most studied avian blood
parasites; however, their natural vectors, Culicoides biting midges, have been identified for …

Simple Summary The diversity of avian blood parasites is remarkable, and they are often
found in co-infections, which is a challenge for wildlife parasitology research. Co-infections …

In this study, we explore blood parasite prevalence, infection intensity, and co-infection
levels in an urban population of feral pigeons Columba livia in Cape Town. We analyze the …

Simple Summary Parasitism is one of the most common life strategies on Earth, where the
host and the parasite establish a successful relationship and continually adapt to each other …
