Background Haemosporidioses are common in birds and their manifestations range from
subclinical infections to severe disease, depending on the involved parasite and bird …

Despite the ubiquity of disease seasonality, mechanisms behind the fluctuations in seasonal
diseases are still poorly understood. Avian hemosporidiosis is increasingly used as a model …

Aim The increasing spread of vector‐borne diseases has resulted in severe health concerns
for humans, domestic animals and wildlife, with changes in land use and the introduction of …

Vector-transmitted haemosporidians are among the most common parasites in birds, but our
knowledge of the inter-specific patterns of infection rates and the parasite community …

Understanding the drivers of infection risk helps us to detect the most at-risk species in a
community and identify species whose intrinsic characteristics could act as potential …

In addition to the presence of a suitable host and vector, the prevalence of haemosporidians
is influenced by several important factors, including the environmental conditions of the …

Studies of parasites in wild animal populations often rely on molecular methods to both
detect and quantify infections. However, method accuracy is likely to be influenced by the …

In a 2-yr study on prevalence of Haemosporidia in an avian community in Ithaca, New York,
USA, we tested the hypothesis that apparent seasonal variation in prevalence is influenced …

Although avian haemosporidian parasites are widely used as model organisms to study
fundamental questions in evolutionary and behavorial ecology of host-parasite interactions …

Background: While the dynamics of disease emergence is driven by host–parasite
interactions, the structure and dynamics of these interactions are still poorly understood …
