Determining the prevalence and local transmission dynamics of parasitic organisms are necessary to understand ability parasites persist in host populations disperse across regions, yet dynamics, diversity, distribution haemosporidian remain poorly understood. We studied prevalence, distributions avian genera
Haemoproteids (Haemosporida, Haemoproteidae) are a diverse group of avian blood parasites that transmitted by hematophagous dipterans. In this study, we describe
Abstract Migratory birds are implicated in dispersing haemosporidian parasites over great geographic distances. However, their role sharing these vector-transmitted blood with resident avian host species along migration flyway is not well understood. We studied 10 localities where Chilean Elaenia, a long-distance Neotropical austral migrant species, spends part of its annual cycle to determine local parasite transmission among sympatric the elaenia's distributional range across South...
Abstract Haemoproteus spp. are dipteran-borne protozoa that infect erythrocytes and reticulo-endothelial cells of birds. These parasites not usually transmitted between birds belonging to different orders. The suborder Lari (order Charadriiformes) comprises ~170 avian species, the majority which aquatic, including gulls, terns, auklets, murres skuas, among others. In spite diversity this group, there is limited known haemosporidian parasites, with only 4 recorded morphospecies thus far. We...
Amphibians and reptiles represent a considerable proportion of the vertebrate fauna in Brazil. Different blood parasitic infections have been reported these groups, such as Haemogregarina, Hepatozoon, Trypanosoma microfilariae. However, insufficient research on interactions between parasites their hosts has carried out some regions country. Samples were collected from populations wild herpetofauna different microhabitats throughout Brazil, totaling 111 samples states Mato Grosso Pernambuco....
Blood parasites of the Haemosporida order, such as Plasmodium spp. responsible for malaria, have become focus many studies in evolutionary biology. However, there is a lack molecular investigation haemosporidian wildlife, genus Polychromophilus. Species this neglected exclusively been described bats, mainly Europe, Asia, and Africa, but little known about its presence genetic diversity on American continent. Here, we investigated 406 bats from sites inserted remnant fragments Atlantic Forest...
Plasmodium spp. and some other blood parasites belonging to the order Haemosporida are focus of many epidemiological studies worldwide. However, haemosporidian from wild animals largely neglected in scientific research. For example, Polychromophilus parasites, which exclusive bats, described Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania, but little is known about their presence genetic diversity New World. In this study, 224 samples bats remaining fragments Atlantic Forest Pantanal biomes, as well urbanized...
