Mitochondrial genome amplification of avian haemosporidian parasites from single-infected wildlife samples using a novel nested PCR approach
Haemosporidian parasites that infect birds (Apicomplexa: Haemosporida) are blood parasites that require an invertebrate host (vector) and a...

How cunning is the puppet-master? Cestode-infected fish appear generally fearless
Trophically transmitted parasites have life cycles that require the infected host to be eaten by the correct type of predator. Such parasites should...

The influence of oviposition status on measures of transmission potential in malaria-infected mosquitoes depends on sugar availability
BackgroundLike other oviparous organisms, the gonotrophic cycle of mosquitoes is not complete until they have selected a suitable habitat to...

Blood parasites (Trypanosoma, Leucocytozoon, Haemoproteus) in the Eurasian sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus): diversity, incidence and persistence of infection at the individual level
BackgroundA high prevalence of parasites may result from life-long persistence of infection or from high reinfection rates. We have studied blood...
