Background Many studies have tracked the distribution and persistence of avian haemosporidian communities across space and time at the population level, but few studies …
Blood parasites such as malaria and related haemosporidians commonly infect vertebrate species including birds. Understanding age‐specific patterns of parasite infections is crucial …
