Humans and wildlife are at risk from certain vector-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue,
and West Nile and yellow fevers. Factors linked to global change, including habitat …

It has been claimed that infectious agents transmitted by mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae)
may have a greater connection to cancer then hitherto supposed and that the immune …

Haemosporidian parasites are a globally distributed group of protists that infects many
species of vertebrates (amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals) and are transmitted by …

Haemosporidian parasites of the genera Plasmodium, Haemoproteus, and Leucocytozoon
are among the best studied parasites of Neotropical birds. Here, we describe variation in …

In nature, parasite species often coinfect the same host. Yet, it is not clear what drives the
natural dynamics of coinfection prevalence. The prevalence of coinfections might be affected …

Abstract Flaviviruses such as West Nile (WNV), Usutu (USUV) and Bagaza (BAGV) virus and
avian malaria parasites are vector borne pathogens that circulate naturally between avian …

Usutu virus (USUV) is a mosquito-borne zoonotic flavivirus causing mortality in Eurasian
blackbirds (Turdus merula) in Europe. In dead blackbirds, avian malaria co-infection due to …

Avian haemosporidians are parasites with great capacity to spread to new environments
and new hosts, being considered a good model to host-parasite interactions studies. Here …

Infectious disease agents can influence each other's dynamics in shared host populations.
We consider such influence for two mosquito-borne infections where one pathogen is …

The mosquito Aedes aegypti (L.) is vector of several arboviruses including dengue, yellow
fever, chikungunya, and more recently zika. Previous transcriptomic studies have been …
