The transmission of vector-borne pathogens is greatly influenced by the ecology of their
vector, which is in turn shaped by genetic ancestry, the environment, and the hosts that are …

Haemosporida is a large group of vector‐borne intracellular parasites that infect
amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. This group includes the different malaria …

Since its first report in Anopheles mosquitoes in 1950s, insecticide resistance has spread
very fast to most sub-Saharan African malaria-endemic countries, where it is predicted to …

Avian malaria is a worldwide mosquito‐borne disease caused by Plasmodium parasites.
These parasites occur in many avian species but primarily affect passerine birds that have …

Malaria caused by Plasmodium parasites is one of the worst scourges of mankind and
threatens wild animal populations. Therefore, identifying mechanisms that mediate the …

Invasive species can displace natives, and thus identifying the traits that make aliens
successful is crucial for predicting and preventing biodiversity loss. Pathogens may play an …

Avian malaria is the oldest experimental system for investigating the biology and
transmission of Plasmodium parasites. Recent molecular protocols for detecting and …

Malaria has been one of the most important diseases of humans throughout history and
continues to be a major public health concern. The 5 species of Plasmodium that cause the …

Vector and host communities, as well as habitat characteristics, may have important but
different impacts on the prevalence, richness and evenness of vector‐borne parasites. We …

Blood-feeding arthropod vectors are responsible for transmitting many parasites between
vertebrate hosts. While arthropod vectors often feed on limited subsets of potential host …
