Abstract Background The order Accipitriformes comprises the largest group of birds of prey
with 260 species in four families. So far, 21 haemosporidian parasite species have been …

The specialist versus generalist strategies of hemoparasites in relation to their avian host, as
well as environmental factors, can influence their prevalence, diversity and distribution. In …

Identifying the mechanisms driving the distribution, diversity, and structure of parasite
assemblages is critical to understand host–parasite evolution, community dynamics, and …

Birds are considered one of the most well-known groups of animals in the Pantanal, playing
an important ecological role in wetland ecosystems. Our aim was to identify the main themes …

The role that the environment plays in vector‐borne parasite infection is one of the central
factors for understanding disease dynamics. We assessed how Neotropical bird foraging …

Background Mosquito-borne pathogens contribute significantly to the global burden of
disease, infecting millions of people each year. Mosquito feeding is critical to the …

Migratory birds are important carriers of pathogens such as viruses, bacteria and protozoa.
Avian haemosporidia have been detected from many wild birds of Japan, but the infection …

Abstract The American white ibis (Eudocimus albus), a common bird species in Florida, has
become increasingly urban, with many populations relying heavily on urban and suburban …

Abstract Rickettsiales, Haemosporida and Rhizobiales agents can cause diseases that
affect various animal species, including humans. Due to predation behaviour, carnivorous …

We examine how spatial heterogeneity combines with mobility network structure to influence
vector-borne disease dynamics. Specifically, we consider a Ross-Macdonald-type disease …
